Artemis is presented in modern terms in Orion. She is Zeus's daughter and asks him permission to wander the forest as a huntress rather than getting married. He agrees, and Artemis spends years in the wood trying to escape herself. One day she meets Orion, who has happened upon her camp and eaten her goat. Artemis thinks he is dumb, but she tells him all about her life. When she falls asleep, Orion rapes her. Artemis then kills Orion with a scorpion. She buries him and departs her camp, but the world now seems different.
