Goddess Artemis
By Venus Nighthawk
Background story : Artemis is the Greek Goddess of the Hunt, Nature and Birth.
She is also described in Greek mythology
as "Goddess of the Night", "Lady of the Beast", "Woodland Goddess" and "Phoebe,"
which translates as the bright one.
Several of this Goddesses roles may appear incompatible in nature. An example of this is that she is associated both with death, brought swiftly through her arrows and healing. She is also both Goddess of the hunt and the protector of wild animals. These contradictions are in story: Artemis is the Greek Goddess of the hunt, nature, and birth. She is also a Bird Goddess as she is linked to several wild birds including guinea fowl, buzzards and an unidentified sea bird.
Artemis was also known as a Moon Goddess. Where she represents the new moon. Artemis is an important archetypal figure for young independent and unmarried woman in the form of the maiden goddess.
Born to Leto and Zeus, she is also the twin sister to Apollo, whom according to myth, she helped her mother to deliver. This is why she was traditionally called upon by woman to ease the pains of childbirth.
She was a virgin Goddess who never married or had any children.
Her strength: Artemis strengths are Independence, courage, confidence and physical strength
When this Goddess is only three years old she asks her father, Zeus for her own bow and arrow.
Her independence and free spirited nature is not appreciated however by all the Goddesses. Aphrodite has no control over her as she is not interested in love. The Queen of the Gods, Hera is also forced into confronting her when Artemis sides with the Trojans during the war.
Now Artemis weakness are Vengeful, impulsive and aloof. When one of priestesses is caught with her lover in the temple grounds she punishes the whole surrounding community with a plague.
On another occasion she discovered a man out hunting named Actaeon, peeping at her and her companions she transformed him into a stag and his own dogs devoured him.
Like many of the Greek Goddesses, she doesn't have not like to be beaten. When Agamemnon kills a stag and boasts that she could not have done it better, she is swift in seeking her revenge, holding back the winds and preventing his fleet from sailing.
She is Roman equivalent to Diana.
