The Goddess ArtemisThose who invaded Artemis' privacy, her goals, or restricted her freedom were paid dearly. When the hunter Actaeon accidentally came across Artemis while she was bathing, she transformed him into a deer, then her own hunting dogs attacked and tore him to pieces. Artemis is the goddess of the hunt and the moon. Her Roman name is Diana and her Greek name is Artemis. The symbols of Artemis are a crescent, a deer and arrows. Artemis has many characteristics and is related to current society in many ways. She has a big family and a lot of stories behind her, and there are many myths about her. First of all, Artemis had many different characteristics. Many people call Artemis Wonder Woman, because she can do almost anything. She is brave as any man, as strong as any man, and can hunt and kill any beast. She can be described as an environmentalist. Artemis was not known for having satisfying relationships with men, let alone her brother. She was always attentive to the needs of vulnerable people and those who were suffering. Artemis was the most independent of the goddesses and one who lived for new challenges. In today's society, many people take the character of Wonder Women from her and place it on the more recent Wonder Women. She is considered a feminist goddess by many people in this society. When people in today's society use the bow and arrow as a symbol of the hunter, they get it from Artemis. Not only did she have many great traits, but she also had a very loving family.
