What greek god is similar to Artemis?
Apollo(Apollon). Her twin brother. Their parents were Zeus(god of all gods, who cheated on Hera-goddess of heaven, his wife)and Leto(goddess of motherhood, modestly, and womenly demure. She may have also been the goddess of night, or, alternatively, the light of day{like her sister, Asteria}). Apollo and Artemis were born of the island of Delos--this is because Hera had figured out that Zeus cheated on her and created offspring with Leto. Hera banned Leto from giving birth on land. But, the island of Delos was a floating island, therefore it was not FIRM ground. Apollo & Artemis's greatgrandparents were both Ouranos(Sky)&Gaia(Earth)..(because they're grandparents--Ceous or Koios and Phoebe were siblings).
