It occurred to me today, who do I pray to to keep me safe from sexual assault?

Artemis was my natural answer, but I know that she is already the viciousness inside of me and for some reason I feel like I want a father figure to watch over me. Any suggestions, guys? I’m most comfortable with my own Pantheon, but I’m at a loss for an answer.

I mean Zeus is kinda the go to guy for most things. But honestly I immediately think of Ares. He’s a warrior, a protector. And I believe, correct me if I’m wrong, that there is a myth where he destroys his daughter’s rapist.

I thought of Zeus, but felt a little odd looking to him because we dont talk much- but I love the idea of Ares. Thanks, that helps!
