What monsters did Artemis kill?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There isn't a case readily available to where she was hunting with the intent to kill anyone.

However; Actaeon, a young hunter who stumbled upon the goddess bathing and was turned into a stag, and killed by his own dogs comes to mind.

Artemis is sometimes to have been told to kill Callisto by Hera.

Adonis is said to be killed by either Artemis or Ares.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

According to Callimachus:

Sixty daughters of Okeanos (Okeanines)

Twenty Nymphai of Amnisos for handmaidens

By name, we know the name of these core six out of eighty:

Hyale

Krokale

Nephele

Phiale

Psekas

Rhanis

My answer: They are actually just anyone who wants to join. But they need to swear to Lady Artemis that they will ward off men forever. They will be immortal except if they fall in battle. They can be mortals, demigods, or just about anyone.

Was Artemis associated with Odyssey?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

These are all the places Artemis is mentioned in The Odyssey:

So when rosy-fingered Eos made love to Orion, you precious gods were all of you furious till Artemis went and killed him in Ortygia.

When they had done dinner they threw off the veils that covered their heads and began to play at ball, while Nausicaa sang for them. As the huntress Artemis goes forth upon the mountains of Taygetus or Erymanthus to hunt wild boars or deer, and the wood-nymphs, daughters of Aegis-bearing Zeus, take their sport along with her (then is Leto proud at seeing her daughter stand a full head taller than the others, and eclipse the loveliest amid a whole bevy of beauties), even so did the girl outshine her handmaids.

O queen," he said, "I implore your aid- but tell me, are you a goddess or are you a mortal woman? If you are a goddess and dwell in heaven, I can only conjecture that you are Zeus's daughter Artemis, for your face and figure resemble none but hers

Then I saw Phaedra, and Procris, and fair Ariadne daughter of the magician Minos, whom Theseus was carrying off from Crete to Athens, but he did not enjoy her, for before he could do so Artemis killed her in the island of Dia on account of what Dionysus had said against her.

But tell me, and tell me true, in what way did you die? Did you have a long illness, or did you die by the painless arrows of Artemis?

Dearth never comes there, nor are the people plagued by any sickness, but when they grow old Apollo comes with Artemis and kills them with his painless shafts.

When they had got on board they sailed their ways over the sea, taking us with them, and Zeus sent then a fair wind; six days did we sail both night and day, but on the seventh day Artemis struck the woman and she fell heavily down into the ship's hold as though she were a sea gull alighting on the water

Penelope came out of her room looking like Artemis or Aphrodite, and wept as she flung her arms about her son.

"What an exquisitely delicious sleep I have been having," said she, as she passed her hands over her face, "in spite of all my misery. I wish Artemis would let me die so sweetly now at this very moment, that I might no longer waste in despair for the loss of my dear husband, who possessed every kind of good quality and was the most distinguished man among the Achaeans."

Then Penelope came down from her room looking like Aphrodite or Artemis, and they set her a seat inlaid with scrolls of silver and ivory near the fire in her accustomed place.

While Odysseus was thus yielding himself to a very deep slumber that eased the burden of his sorrows, his admirable wife awoke, and sitting up in her bed began to cry. When she had relieved herself by weeping she prayed to Artemis saying, "Great Goddess Artemis, daughter of Zeus, drive an arrow into my heart and slay me; or let some whirlwind snatch me up and bear me through paths of darkness till it drop me into the mouths of overflowing Oceanus, as it did the daughters of Pandareus. The daughters of Pandareus lost their father and mother, for the gods killed them, so they were left orphans. But Aphrodite took care of them, and fed them on cheese, honey, and sweet wine. Hera taught them to excel all women in beauty of form and understanding; Artemis gave them an imposing presence, and Athena endowed them with every kind of accomplishment; but one day when Aphrodite had gone up to Olympus to see Zeus about getting them married (for well does he know both what shall happen and what not happen to every one) the storm winds came and spirited them away to become handmaids to the dread Erinyes. Even so I wish that the gods who live in heaven would hide me from mortal sight, or that fair Artemis might strike me
