Magnificent Bastard / Literature

"Dantes, you magnificent bastard, I've read your book!"

"About my name, Artemis. You were right in London, it is generally a female name. After the Greek goddess of archery. But every now and then a male comes along with such a talent for hunting that he earns the right to use the name. I am that male. Artemis the hunter. I hunted you."
