fait le même choix que le mien et qui ne sont pas prêtes à suivre le modèle imposé par Aphrodite (...). Et pourtant nous sommes toutes des femmes, oui, comme elle ! » Être femme et être libre : telle est l'exigence de la déesse de la nature, de la chasse, des naissances et de l'éducation des adolescents. Fille de Léto et Zeus, soeur jumelle d'Apollon, Artémis choisit de vivre loin de l'Olympe et de ses intrigues. Son chemin, tantôt joyeux, tantôt tragique, croisera celui de tous les personnages qui gravitent entre le monde des humains et celui des dieux – le centaure Chiron, les nymphes, Atalante, Achille... Des personnages qui sont autant de facettes du féminin et du masculin, et nous montrent que l'on peut toujours choisir d'être qui l'on veut être.
