„And to have sex with a god or goddess or to be penetrated by a god [in a dream] signifies death for a sick person. For, on this occasion, the soul prophesies meetings and intercourse with the gods, that is, when it is about to leave behind the body in which it dwells. But for rest, if they delight in the intercourse, it signifies benefits from their superiors, but if they do not delight in it, terrors and disturbances. And to have sex with Artemis and Athena and Hestia and Rhea and Hera and Hecate alone is not beneficial, even if one delights in it. For the dream prophesies doom for the observer after no long period of time. For these goddesses are hallowed, and those who lay a hand on them, in my view, will receive nothing good from [their] attempt.” (Artemidoros, Oneirocritica 1.80)
