Zues: "By the way, if you hear anything from my bedroom that sounds like a swan being choked that's fine."

As if Zeus would have the courtesy to take things to the bedroom.

She could be interpreted that way

Considering this is ancient GREECE (one of the gayest countries ever) we're talking about, there has to be a story of a woman attempting to court her.

My understanding of the classical concept of sex was that yes, sex was specifically the penetrative act, so it's entirely possible Zeus and Bros couldn't fathom what mischief women could get to on their own.

Artemis could totally go to Funkytown with her huntress desciples all she wanted without affecting her virtue, or brother Apollo feeling jealous. (That whole affair with Orion was, according to OSP, a Victorian era fantasy, with no prior primary sources.)
