We are thrilled to invite you to the launch of Artemis, The People’s Priestess, a myth-interpretation of the relationship of the twins Artemis and Apollo in dramatic verse, and set in ancient Crete. There will be music, dance and visuals as part of the presentation. Drinks and Greek nibbles available from 7.00pm.

The Greek Goddess Artemis – whom the Romans called Diana – is mythology’s arch-outsider – lesbian feminist, environmental activist, radical midwife, shaman huntress, man-slayer when necessary, and like her tragic namesake, called the People’s Priestess. Her twin brother Apollo, despite his extravagant juvenile delinquency, was elevated to be God of civilisation, harmony, proportion, and music.

‘…a sensuous and heady brew of jealousies, same-sex passions, hints of incest and rites of passage. Modern day reference and vernacular with a liberal scattering of humour ensure it is both accessible and captivating from start to finish.” Geraldine Monk, poet.

“Greenhill applies the mind of a scholar, the ear of a poet, and the eye of a painter to create a fascinating allegory that explores the conflict between patriarchy and matriarchy as expressed in the sibling rivalry between twins Artemis and Apollo. An amazing achievement.” Debbie Taylor, Editor of Mslexia magazine
