Diana, the Hunter of Bus Drivers
In this chapter of Antigone Rising, the author mentioned that Diana asked Jupiter if she could be a virgin goddess and use a bow and arrow as her weapons, as well as a couple other things. I found this interesting, as Diana is often depicted as subverting patriarchal roles and stereotypes, however, here she asks her father permission for her activities. It made me think about whether in greek myth Diana was actually seen as opposing these values or whether that is something modern ideas have thrust upon her. She was surrounded by strong women, but I wonder whether that was simply because she was a virgin godess or whether it was because she believed in "girl power".
