Queen of the Dead 116This page was no easy thing! I never visited Corinth when I was in Greece, so I did some research and immediately encountered a problem. Ancient Corinth was destroyed by the Romans in 146 BCE and later rebuilt as a Roman colony, so all the reconstructions of the city that I found was how it looked like after that. Which of course was way too late for my story (my comics don’t really take place at a certain time period, but I usually try to stay within the archaic/classical period for those stories that take place in the “present”). Guess I’ll be using ancient Athens quite much as inspiration…The deer was Artemis’ symbol rather than the cat, but a deer entering a market place would have looked quite strange. And when the gods fled to Egypt to hide from Typhon, Artemis is said to have turned into a cat. -- source link
