“This is consistent with the role of Apollo and Artemis in the mythical forms of tale; Artemis need only ask her oracle – giving brother about Snow White’s beauty, which he himself experienced”
Daughter of Philanimon,has a thousand suitors: Apollo and Hermes rape her and Hermes puts her to sleep; Apollo comes disguised as an old woman. Chione has twins. Chione antagonises Artemis with boasting who kills her with an arrow...”it is as if the magic mirror in the Grimm tale were being used here not to tell the queen that Snow White is the fairest of them all, but instead to tell Snow White that she must not boast of being fairest of them all!”
