snagamat: The Death of Adonis, killed by a wild boar sent by Artemis. Adonis had interactions with several god(esse)s. He is said to have been shared by Aphrodite and Persephone. In some stories, he is struck down by Ares rather than Artemis. In some accounts, he challenges Artemis’ hunting skill. In others, he suffers due to a quarrel between Aphrodite and Artemis. Regardless, it’s interesting a figure like Adonis would be struck down by the virginal Artemis.
