Did Artemis listen to her father when she said that she will stay a virgin?
The origins of this myth vary but the most popular one is the following:
When Artemis was first born her father, Zeus, took her on his knee and granted her three wishes. She first wished for a great chariot to take her on her way, which he granted. (other versions state that she also asked for a set of stags to pull the chariot across the sky). The second is a set of hounds to aid her in her hunts, which he granted. (some versions of the myth say the second was her bow, but others claim she forged the bow herself from the light of the moon). The third was that she would be forever chaste, which he also granted, giving her the right to refuse any other god who sought her.
She was not fond of men, but she didn't directly oppose them either. Any man who disrespected her or her domain (the wild places) was punished accordingly. Those who respected her were mostly ignored, but in some cases were rewarded
she is a Leo i think, no one can ever be sure unless you talk to the goddess herself
How many times was the temple of Artemis put on fire?
The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus was destroyed on July 21, 356 BC in an act of arson committed by Herostratus. According to the story, his motivation was fame at any cost, thus the term herostratic fame.
"Respa, Veduc and Thuruar, leaders of the Goths, took ship and sailed across the strait of the Hellespont to Asia. There they laid waste many populous cities and set fire to the renowned temple of Diana at Ephesus," reported Jordanes in Getica.
And probably once more, of which time we don't know.

How do you become part of the hunt with Artemis?
To become a Hunter and be a maiden of Artemis all you have to do is pledge yourself to her.
"I pledge myself to the goddess Artemis.
I turn my back on the company of men,
accept eternal maidenhood,
and join the Hunt."
After you have said the pledge Artemis has to accept your offering.
Please note you must be a girl to be a Maiden and a Hunter of Artemis, for she does not like the company of men and will usually try to turn them in to an animal if they take this oath. She may be forgiving to some men though and leave them be with a warning.
How do you know if your daughter is starving herself?
Does Artemis entreri get killed?
As Artemis Entreri himself breaks Idalia's flute and states to Jarlaxle "Artemis Entreri is dead."- No, he does not.

Who was the Greek goddess of determination and persistence?
Of the more well-known goddesses, I would say that Athena is your best bet. There might be a more obscure one. Of course, if I had my way, I would say it was Psyche. She's my favorite. Read her story and you'll see why I think she should be given the "Determination" mantle!
What were the Greek goddess Artemis' weaknesses?
One of her weaknesses was men (she once had a man torn up for seeing her bathing). She was also impulsive, vengeful, and aloof. She also had a habit of cursing men who got a peak at her or shot one of her animals. And, like her twin brother Apollo, she often favors a mortal (usually a maiden) who would meet and untimely death.
She was far, far away from being weak though.
If you were trying to defeat Artemis you would not have much luck since she is immortal and the greatest hunter ever.
What does Artemis' symbol silver mean?
Artemis the goddess is associated with the moon, and the moon is a silver color.
The hunter who saw Artemis bathing was Actaeon. He accidentally stumbled upon the goddess and her nymphs while they bathed. In revenge, Artemis turned him into a stag then sent his own hounds after him. They tore him to pieces.
A talisman is from the Greek word telesma/"telein" meaning "to initiate into the mysteries" being a object considered to possess supernatural or magical powers.
You must realize that Artemis, being a immortal and ageless goddess, both made objects and had objects made for her.
None of these in myth possessed more power then she did, or was the source of her own power.
However, if any of these objects fell into the hands of a mortal in myth, they could be then described by the term talisman.
Who had the temple of Artemis built?
The construction of the "new" temple, which was to become known as one of the wonders of the ancient world, began around 550 BC. It was a 120-year project, initially designed and built by the Cretan architect Chersiphron and his son Metagenes, at the expense of Croesus of Lydia.
Artemis never had "flings" per say. She was a virgin goddess, and she is totally dependent on herself (unlike Aphrodite or Hero who rely on men). Some say she despises love, men, or sex. The goddess is the epitome of feminism. Yet in one story, it is told that she fell in love with the "great hunter", Orion. But she either killed him, accidentally killed him, or Apollo, her brother tricked her to doing the deed or simply killed Orion himself. Yet on the contrary, she is told to kill or severely punish those who see her or her maidens bathing or do advances on her or them.
