Apollon's twin perhaps
Altinkum Voices ^ | Saturday, August 21, 2010 | editors

German archaeologists are looking at a new find which could suggest a second temple close to the Temple of Apollo.

They have extended their excavations away from Apollon and have discovered a wall which they consider to be part of another temple -- maybe that the Temple is for Artemis -- the twin of Apollon.

Representative of Ministry of Culture and Tourism Ferhan Büyükyörük said: "An illegal dig was done in the area previously, which revealed the remains of a wall.

"The excavations team is searching this year to see if there is more to the wall and if it belongs to a structure. Its size and location suggests a building to the south of this wall. Didyma means twin; Apollon was the twin brother of Goddess Artemis.

"This wall might belong to an Artemis Temple. We will see what the excavations unearth."

The works will continue until September.

Wow, Googling Artemis comes up with a huge amount of new-agy style art. Looks like she’s been seized upon by new agers, feminists and enviros.

I tried Googling Artemis one time when she was bathing, she turned me into a gazelle and sicced her hounds on me. The worst part was, the hounds were all gay and into interspecies humping. I still have PTSD from it. Unless... hmm... it was the 70s... angel dust kickers in the joints back then...

He may win now, but in a couple of centuries, he’s gonna be toast.

Whoa, dude. That sounds like a 70's experience alright!

I did some stag parties in the 70's where we ogled nymphs, but they really weren't the virginal type and didn't mind you googling them at all.
