Artemis

"See, she's who we'd pray to for courage when hunting the Gorgon or the Minotaur. Of course, she's not really worship worthy anymore, uh, having lost a step and all."

- Sam Winchester about Artemis.

Artemis is a pagan deity of the Greek pantheon. She was the daughter of Zeus and the goddess of the hunt and the wildlife.

Physical Appearance
Artemis, like many other deities, had a human-like appearance. She took the form of a young adult woman with long, brown hair and brown eyes. She was identified with her weapon of choice, the bow and the arrow, which signified her attunement to the hunt.

Powers and Abilities
As a deity, Artemis possessed several abilities that are common for her kind. However, since she specializes in hunting, Artemis also possessed related abilities such as tracking and marksmanship.


 * Immortality - Artemis was over 6,000 years old and retained the appearance and health of a young woman. She had an infinite lifespan and is not subject to old age.
 * Superhuman Strength - She overpowered Dean with ease.
 * Invulnerability - Artemis was not subject to disease or any other cause of natural death.
 * Telekinesis - Artemis pinned Sam and Dean to a wall with telekinesis and mentally manipulated them physically.
 * Teleportation - Artemis had the ability to immediately appear or vanish into thin air.

Early life
Artemis was the daughter of Zeus, yet at an unknown time in the past, she harbored feelings for Prometheus. However, because Prometheus had betrayed the Olympians and was her father's enemy, she kept her feelings a secret.

The early hunters of Greece prayed to Artemis when hunting monsters like the Minotaur.

Zeus assigned Artemis the task of tracking Prometheus down when he went missing in an avalanche circa 2006. Because of the feelings Artemis harbored for the titan, she let Prometheus slip past her since his escape.

Season 8
When the recurrent death and resurrection of Prometheus capturing the attention of more people, Artemis was forced to hunt the titan with renewed urgency. She managed to track him down, only to find that he had developed amnesia from the trauma of his multiple deaths and thus no longer remembered her. She prepared to kill him, but he fended her off with the help of Sam and Dean Winchester, and almost killed her with her own weapons. She vanished, mysteriously saying that she was his worst nightmare when he demanded to know who she was.

The Winchesters deduced the identities of Prometheus and Artemis. They summoned Zeus to lift the curse of the titan and his young son. Artemis arrived at the scene to prevent the hunters from attacking her father, and steered them away from the scene to leave Zeus free to torture the titan.

While Artemis took the hunters away, Sam taunted her, saying that she really wasn't worship worthy anymore, thinking that she lost her step taking so long to locate Prometheus. She slammed them up against a wall and was about to kill Dean and Sam. He convinced her to help them protect Prometheus and his son against Zeus.

Artemis and the hunters returned to stop Zeus. When he refused to leave Prometheus and his son alone, Artemis realized that he was no longer the father she knew. She fired an arrow at him; Zeus used Prometheus to shield himself from the attack, but the titan pushed the arrow through himself to kill Zeus as well. Artemis dropped her bow and arrows, walked over to the corpses of her father and her old love, and removed her arrow. Upon seeing that Prometheus was truly dead, she shared a look with his current lover before leaving with Zeus' remains.

Trivia
In lore, Artemis was a virgin goddess and hence shunned any contact with a male, which is in stark contrast to the show's character. The only execption was Orion who she fell for, so her brother Apollo tricked her into murdering him.
