Talk:Callisto

Callisto's name
The original mythical person named "Callisto" is associated with the goddess Artemis. Artemis is referred as "Artemis Callisti" sometimes. Artemis and Callisto were connected in worship, sometimes. Artemis is a vengeful goddess that punishes sinners - a relic from times of animistic deities maybe. The character "Callisto" is trying to punish Xena for her sins. Therefore the character "Callisto" may have been inspired by Artemis, and not Princess Callisto.

While "Callisto" has been derived from "Call'isti" (most beautiful), it could have also been derived from "C'allisti" (most good, most virtuous). Quite ironic.
