Artemis (Diana)

I believe you are talking about Agamemnon, a warrior in the Trojan war. One day he shot a deer in a sacred field and boasted that he was a better hunter than Artemis, the goddess of the Hunt. She was furious and commanded the winds to continue to blow Agamemnon's ships back to the shore so he could not get to Troy. An oracle told him to appease Artemis and sail to Troy, he had to sacrifice his daughter, Iphigenia. He tricked his wife, Clytemnestra, into bringing Iphigenia over by saying she was to be married to Achilles. When she came over, her father put her on the altar. Some accounts say she was killed. However, other accounts say before she could be killed, Artemis replaced her with a deer. There are then two accounts of what happened to Iphigenia then. The most popular is that she became a priestess to Artemis. The other is she was transformed into the goddess Hecate. Either way, Agamemnon got to Troy.

In the days of ancient Greece, she likely did.

Her months were;

"Artemisios : The month of May amongst Macedonians."

"Mounykhion : The tenth month in Athens. They used to sacrifice to Artemis Mounykhia during it."

Kind of. Some stories make it seem like they are friends (they are both strong virgin goddesses), but some make it seem like they are competitive with each other. It's varied whether Athena or Artemis is Zeus's favorite daughter (most of the time it is Athena) and if Artemis or Athena is the strongest goddess (most of the time it is Artemis). Since they are a little similar, it would make sense that they would each try to be the better of the two.

The Temple of Artemis was located at an economically robust region, drawing merchants and travelers from all over Asia Minor. The temple was influenced by many beliefs, and can be seen as a symbol of faith for many different peoples. The site also drew pilgrims, peasants, and artisans. The Ephesians worshiped Cybele, and incorporated many of their beliefs into the worship of Artemis. Artemisian Cybele became quite contrasted from her Roman counterpart, Diana. The cult of Artemis attracted thousands of worshipers from far-off lands.

She was one of the goddesses of childbirth. It goes back to her own birth. When she was born, her mother, Leto, had no pain. She was also her mother's midwife while her twin brother, Apollo was being born. Therefor, she became a goddess of childbirth. Women experiencing labor pains called upon her to help them.

The other goddesses of childbirth are Hera and Ilithyia.

She was worshiped throughout the Mediterranean Sea; she was goddess of the wilderness and wild animals, a hunter of these animals, protector of childbirth and pregnant women, as well as a girl child until marriage.

There were three virgin goddesses in Greek Mythology. Artemis, the goddess of hunting, was one of them; she took a vow of chastity and made all of her attendants take the same vow. Athena, the goddess of wisdom was another. The last one was Hestia, the goddess of the hearth.

Apollo and Diana were fraternal twins- one boy one girl but both born at same time. Zeus and Leto were their parents. They were born on the island of Delos. Artemis was born before Apollo and was her mother's midwife. Artemis and Apollo were said to have a good sibling relationship.

Diana's correct Greek name is Artemis. Diana is her Roman name. Artemis was goddess of the Hunt, the moon, virginity, the wild, and animals. Artemis was also the protector of virgins (whom many of her followers were), and animals. She is known as The Lady of Wild Things, The Huntress, The Mistress of Animals, and The Lady of the Wild.

Apollo was the god of the sun, said to drive a chariot across the sky every morning that pulled the sun up. Apollo was also a god of the arts, such as music and dance. He was also the god of medicine and prophecies.

The closest thing you can say the Huntress fears is men,but that is not acurate, as she was close friends with Orion. She feared for the safty of her hunters.

Her mother is Leto, her twin brother is Apollo and Zeus is her father.

Her aunts are : (father side) Hestia, Demeter and Hera (mother side) Asteria

Her uncles : Poseidon and Hades

Her maternal grandparents : Coeus and Phoebe (parents of Leto)

Her paternal grandparents: Cronus and Rhea

Coeus, Phoebe, Cronus and Rhea are all siblings and Titans, children of Gaea (Earth) and Ouranos (Heaven).

Artemis is the Greek goddess of the Hunt, virginity and the moon. Artemis Fowl is a boy genius in a series of books by Eoin Colfer. If you read the fifth book, the girl genius is named Minerva, the roman goddess of wisdom. In the third book, Fowl makes a reference to the goddess, [SPOILER ALERT] right before he defeats Spiro.

Her origins are said sometimes to be older then Ancient Greece, but none the less, she was adopted into their religion - as she is a deity, she can only be found in the art and buildings of her ancient worshipers.

Some of the epithets that were given to Artemis the goddesss are: Lady of Wild Things, Mistress of Wild Animals (or Potnia Theron), Kourotrophos (or nurse of youths), Locheia (or helper in childbirth), Agrotera (or huntress), Cynthia (taken from her birthplace on Mount Cynthus on Delos), and Mistress of the Wild.

Artemis is the greek goddess who has a 7 letter name. She is Apollo's twin sister. She was the lady of wild things, the huntress, maiden goddess, and moon goddess.

The Olympian goddess Artemis was daughter of Zeus and Leto twin sister of the Olympian god Apollo and both were born on the island of Delos.

She was the goddess of hunting, wilderness and wild life.

Artemis was a GIRL. She was the goddess of the hunt. Second of all she vowed to be a maiden forever. The only man who ever saw her naked saw her when she was bathing in a forest pool. Instead of running for his life he stood there staring until one of Artemis' nymphs noticed him. Artemis turned him into a dear, and sent his own hunting dogs to rip him to shreds.

Artemis is a ancient Greek goddess, whom we know of now because of discovering the religion of ancient Greece. She relates because many aspects of her character are seen in women today, and in literature and movies and these aspects are drawn upon and remembered by a wide range of people today, as most students study Greek myths. She is, for example, remembered in animal rights, in woman's rights, and in many activists names that might use her remembered as a deity.

Artemis (slayer?, protector?) In Greek mythology, one of the 12 Olympian gods; goddess of the moon, hunting, and childbirth and patroness of chastity and unmarried girls; daughter of Zeus and Leto and twin sister of Apollo. The Romansequated her with their goddess Diana. One of the Homeric Hymns (works ascribed to Homer but not written by him) praises herrole as female twin to Apollo:

. . . Goddess of the loud chase, a maiden revered, the slayer of stags, the archer, very

sister of Apollo of the golden blade. She through the shadowy hills and the windy headlands rejoicing in the chase draws her golden bow, sending forth shafts of sorrow.

Then tremble the crests of the lofty mountains, and terribly the dark woodland rings

with din of beasts, and the earth shudders, and teeming sea. (Translated by Andrew

Lang)

Artemis

The various epithets of the goddess reflect

her many roles. She was called Orthia (upright)

and Lygodesma (willow bound) because of an

image of the goddess that was said to have

been found in a thicket of willows and was held

upright by willow fronds that twined around

it. Artemis was Agrotera (huntress), Coryphaea

(of the peak), Limnaea and Limatis (of the

lake), Daphnaea (of the laurel), Lyceia or Lycea

(wolfish), Aeginaea (goat goddess), Caryatis (of

the walnut tree), Ariste (best), Calliste (fairest).

Her most famous title was Artemis Plymastus

(many-breasted); she appeared in this form

at Ephesus. In the New Testament Artemis is

called Diana. In Acts 19 the famous temple of

Diana of the Ephesians is the great Artemisium

at Ephesus, one of the Seven Wonders of the

Ancient World. Most literary allusions to the

goddess use her Roman name, Diana.

There used to be a sun god, Helios, and a moon goddess, Selene. For some reason their duties were taken over by the twins, Apollo (sun) and Artemis (moon).

The Greek goddess of hunting was Artemis ( In Rome her name was Diana), one of the three chaste goddesses of Olympus (along with Hestia and Athena). She was daughter of Zeus and Leto. She was Apollo's twin sister. She was also a moon goddess.

Artemis was a goddess so she lived on Mount Olympus. She also traveled and hunted all over mountains and forests with her fellow huntresses. She was a goddess not a god! It is an insult to call a goddess a god!!
