Xena (Lucy Lawless) invaded the Great Hall of Olympus and began battling Athena, Poseidon (Rick Jacobson), Discord (Meighan Desmond), Deimos (Joel Tobeck), Hephaestus (Julian Garner), Hades (Stephen Lovatt) and Artemis.
Artemis' outfit included a low cut shiny gold dress which included a matching pleated skirt.

Artemis had a decorative bow, and strapped over her shoulder was a quiver to hold unlimited arrows.
