When Homer is comparing Penelope to Artemis and Aphrodite in the Odyssey, he means she looks like Artemis in chastity and like Aphrodite in beauty.
no it was jest a symbol
In book IX of the Iliad she has a golden throne.
It is known as the the Cerynitian Hind, one of only five Elaphos Khrysokeros (Golden Horned Deer/Golden Hinds), the other four drawing the golden chariot of Artemis.
Artemis favored Hercules, allowing the hero to take one of only five of the Elaphos Khrysokeros (Golden Hinds), made by Taygete the one known as Cerynitian Hind. This deer was taken unharmed and later returned. The other four drew her golden chariot.
Once, Artemis was tricked into having a child. Artemis had offended Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. She told Athena and Hera that they were not true virgin goddess. After all, Athena had children, and Hera was the goddess of marriage. She then told Aphrodite that love was worthless, since you would most likely have a broken heart in the end. She showed the example of Orpheus and Eurydice. They still had broken hearts. Of course, these goddess did not take offense easily. They plotted to get revenge. With the help of Dionysus, they made every young man look like a golden stag. But really, they were the men of Athens. Soon she was in childbirth, which was very painful. Hera (who was also the goddess of childbirth), made sure that the birth would not come easily for Artemis. People are not sure who her daughter was. Some say it is Haley's comet. Others say that she is the shadows of night. Most most people believe that it was moon that was her daughter, always shining down upon us.
Penelope is compared to Artemis or golden Aphrodite when she comes down the stairs in Homer's "The Odyssey" because of her beauty, grace, and poise. These comparisons highlight her allure and elegance, emphasizing her status as a desirable and noble woman in Greek society.
Nobody but Ares and the three graces. Athena and Hera don't like her because she won the golden apple from Pairs. Artemis doesn't like her because Aphrodite encourages love.
Hephaestus gave Aphrodite the golden girdle.
Paris gave Aphrodite the amazing golden apple.
Paris, the Prince of Troy, gave the Golden Apple to the goddess Aphrodite.
Venus/Aphrodite: because her son, Aeneas, was a Trojan. Plus, Paris gave her the Golden Apple. Mars/Ares: because he basically followed Aphrodite. Apollo: because he was a patron god of Troy Artemis/Diana: because she was Apollo's twin.
No God can resist her beauty when she wore her Golden Girdle, but there where three goddesses that she had no power over, Hestia, Athena and Artemis, as virgin goddesses they could not be swayed by her powers of love
the one where she wins the golden apple and when aphrodite chooses a husband
Artemis's symbol was not a stag, it was a golden hind. There were only five Golden Hinds, a gift of Taygeta to Artemis; the most famous is the Cerynitian Hinds which Heracles borrowed unharmed for his Labor.
Aphrodite.
Because she was golden and rich and liked apples
