  1. Ares was an honored god in Sparta, but not a really important one. Artemis and Phoebus were the favourite Spartan gods. Notice that Artemis and Phoebus were the gods of hunting and arts, that were the favourite activities of the Spartans (rich loafers) until the "spartan superwarriors" propaganda work started, after the Thermopilae. The "shaming of Ares" started much before the quarrels between Sparta and Athens. Already in the Iliad (that was written when both Athens and Sparta were cities of secondary importance).

  2. Hermes: "Ok, so you do the flirting, I do the stealing". Artemis: "What? You know I'm not into such things." Hermes "So who'll do the flirting? Me?" Artemis: "Why not? The god of deception and crafts. I'm sure you'll make a more credible flirty girl than me." Hermes: "So you are into sneaking into someone's basement and stealing?" Artemis "... Oh, crap. Let's do that quickly."
