The chariot as seen in the graphic novels.
Artemis' Chariot (also known as the Moon Chariot) is made of silver and pulled by four golden reindeer.
History[]
Before Artemis became goddess of the moon, the Titaness Selene owned the moon chariot, which she drove across the sky at night.
Selene's Battle with Typhon[]
When Typhon began his path of destruction to Mount Olympus, Selene rode into battle with the moon chariot. The encounter left the scars and craters seen on the moon up to this very day.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians[]
The Titan's Curse[]
Artemis summons her chariot after the battle against Atlas to get Percy Jackson, Thalia Grace, Zoë Nightshade, Grover Underwood, and Annabeth Chase to a safe place, where she then turns Zoë into the constellation, "The Huntress". Artemis then leaves to attend the winter solstice meeting at Olympus.
The Last Olympian[]
Artemis, the owner
Percy mentions that Artemis is fighting Typhon in her chariot, a monster who broke free a second time, and came to help Kronos. It is stated that it looks like Santa Claus' sleigh, except for the fact a girl is driving, and there are silver arrows being shot out of it.
Appearance[]
In The Titan's Curse, it is described as what Santa Claus' sleigh was based upon by mortals. The chariot is entirely silver, including its reins. The only exceptions are the four golden reindeer, whom have silver horns.
Trivia[]
- Artemis was the moon goddess because when riding in her chariot the people of Greece thought she was driving the moon across the sky as her brother, Apollo, drove the sun across the sky.
