experiencing no sexual attraction no matter if one is sex-repulsed or sex-positive still lands you somewhere in the ace spectrum. and tbh you don't need to have kids of your own to be a midwife, or just in general care about them
Yes, but what about love? As in, the emotion? Because Artemis is supposed to be unaffected by love, hence one of the three the goddess of love, Aphrodite, had no power over. But being ace doesn't preclude someone from being in love.
Then she is also aromantic
Right. It just seems worth pointing out specifically rather than just using the term ace like the thread OP, because lumping those together doesn't seem fair to ace folks. And at least for people like me who have read a lot of the Greek mythology, her aromantic nature is at least, if not more prominent in her personality than her chaste nature.
