And, per the goddess's instructions, sends Dika to visit the Priestesses of Kybele, where we meet Selene, House of the Muses' first transgender character.

I asked Pam what prompted her to include the MTF Kybele tribe. She said:
Selene is a creation, a secondary character to the storyline. I have a number of transgender friends, so there was some personal motive in introducing her. She and her sisters were born in my imagination as I was reading about the building of the Temple of Artemis in Ephesus. The original earth goddess religions were falling out of favor during those days, and having no examples from research, no available famous personages who weren't somewhere else at the time, I created these.

Pam said she turned to Laura Seabrook, a transgender comic creator, for guidance:
