3. Sensual Storytelling: Artemis and Callisto

[01:21–04:34]

The episode transitions into an evocative teaser that encapsulates the audio drama's sensual, poetic tone.

The scene features Artemis and her nymph, Callisto, in an intimate, transformative moment.
Language is lush, blending mythic grandeur with carnal immediacy:

Quote:
"Artemis had found what her heart desired. Leaning in, she captured Callisto's supple lips. She was unsure at first, but once she had tasted the maiden, the kiss became demanding. The goddess opened her mouth and poured out her divine flavor, one that made Callisto weak at the knees."

The narrative immerses listeners in an explicit but artful depiction of queer desire and mutual adoration:

Quote:
"I desire this moment with you, Callisto, the goddess whispered between ragged breaths. Such is the case with the lover and the beloved. Show me tenderness and I shall satisfy you in the same manner."
— Artemis teaser narration, [02:53]

Sensory details heighten eroticism:
- Describing Callisto’s physical beauty ("her breasts like two pomegranates of equal size").
- The mutual hunger and vulnerability between goddess and nymph.

Quote:
"In an instant, a rush of desire coursed through both women. Artemis closed her eyes and basked in the overwhelming sensation of euphoria that filled her body."

Hi, I am sexual folklorist Dixie de La Tour, and I'm excited to share a new audio drama with you. It's called Artemis. Artemis is a lesbian retelling of the Greek myth of Artemis, the goddess of the hunt. The beloved daughter of almighty Zeus and Titaness Leto, Artemis was born through passion and blessed with gifts. No goddess had more freedom or a more intriguing life than the immortal huntress. And her whims and desires could change the course of human destiny. Like her twin brother, Apollo, Artemis enjoys the company of beautiful maidens. But of all her chosen nymphae, it is obvious that Callisto is the one Artemis favors the most. Join Artemis on her thrilling adventures, complete with love, loss and turmoil. The first five episodes of Artemis will be available wherever you listen to podcasts, but you can listen to all 16 parts now through Himalaya Premium. Simply download the Himalaya app in your app store. Search Artemis and enter promo code Artemis to get the entire story free. Here's a teaser.

The goddess and her maiden stood before each other. Their brilliant eyes locked. Time seemed to freeze, as if the winter had settled down upon it. Artemis had found what her heart desired. Leaning in, she captured Callisto's supple lips. She was unsure at first, but once she had tasted the maiden, the kiss became demanding. The goddess opened her mouth and poured out her divine flavor, one that made Callisto weak at the knees. Driven by something primitive far beyond discipline and reason, Artemis lowered the nymph to the cave floor in less than a heartbeat. The two were helpless, giving in to a passion they kept hidden for so long. Callisto parted her lips as her mistress's tongue slithered in, ravishing her mouth with a feral knead. Artemis now understood how such wantonness could drive the gods mad. I desire this moment with you, Callisto, the goddess whispered between ragged breaths. Such is the case with the lover and the beloved. Show me tenderness and I shall satisfy you in the same manner. Seeing the ardent gaze of her mistress, Callisto became acutely aware of her needs. My wish to serve you has only grown stronger since the first moment I saw you, calisto admitted. It would delight my heart to fulfill your request here and now. With that, Artemis stripped the nymph of the tunic she was wearing. Callisto's tresses strayed as night came down over the sky. Her throat resembled an antelope's, her breasts like two pomegranates of equal size. The goddess swallowed as she saw the maiden's nipples stand erect atop her sweet, round flesh. Her nervous belly rose and fell in waves of need. Artemis enjoyed her nymph's flower like face and fragrant smell. Callisto's senses were heightened with equal excitement. The lady of the Wild could shame the noon sun's radiance laid willingly on her back. Callisto opened her arms to welcome the goddess. When she felt Artemis's skin against hers, Callisto felt a certain heat below her stomach. In an instant, a rush of desire coursed through both women. Artemis closed her eyes and basked in the overwhelming sensation of euphoria that filled her body.
