After the by-my-count fifth* re-read, by way of a bedtime story, of Artemis: Wild Goddess of the Hunt by George O’Connor**, the following words popped into my head, sung to a possibly recognizable tune***:
Artemis, Artemis,
Doesn’t ever hardly miss.
Is she strong? Listen, bro,
The lady’s got a cyclops bow.
Look out — here comes Miss Artemis!
It’s going to take me a while to scrub this out of my brain, I just know it.


* I might have forgotten an iteration or three.

** The ninth of a projected twelve volumes of the Olympians graphic novel series, the whole of which has been repeatedly consumed by Eaglet (displacing all other channels for consuming Greek mythology). Favorite volumes are Hermes, Artemis, and Hera (because Heracles), with Poseidon being least liked. Eleven volumes are out, with Dionysus left to go. FWIW, I rilly like O’Connor’s takes on Persephone’s decision and Argus's downfall.

*** Mind you, Eaglet associates the tune more with the Squirrel Girl theme song than Spider-Man.
