BioI am Artemis, daughter of Zeus and Leto, and twin sister of Apollo. Maybe you've heard of me. Maybe not. I am best known as Goddess of The Hunt, The Wilderness, Wild Animals, and Childbirth, although I can tell you now, that I will never go through childbirth myself. I am pure. I am a virgin. My lovely band of companions are all virgins. The last man who dared look upon me while I was bathing was transformed into a stag and chased down by his own hounds.
Think about that, will you?
"Leto had relations with Zeus, for which she was hounded by Hera all over the earth. She finally reached Delos and gave birth to Artemis, who thereupon helped her deliver Apollo.
Artemis became a practised huntress and remained a virgin." -Apollodorus 1.21
Diana [Artemis] loved Orion and came near marrying him. Apollo took this hard, and when scolding her brought no results, on seeing the head of Orion who was swimming a long way off, he wagered her that she couldn’t hit with her arrows the black object in the sea. Since she wished to be called an expert in that skill, she shot an arrow and pierced the head of Orion. The waves brought his slain body to the shore, and Diana [Artemis], grieving greatly that she had struck him, and mourning his death with many tears, put him among the constellations. But what Diana did after his death, we shall tell in the stories about her.” –Hyginus Astronomica 2.34
"Let none disparage Artemis. For Oineus dishonoured her altar and no pleasant struggles came upon his city. Nor let any contend with her in shooting of stags or in archery. For the son of Atreus [Agamemnon] vaunted him not that he suffered small requital. Neither let any woo the Maiden; for not Otos, nor Orion wooed her to their own good. Nor let any shun the yearly dance; for not tearless to Hippo [Queen of the Amazones] was her refusal to dance around the altar." -Callimachus, Hymn 3 to Artemis
Note from the mun: As you can tell by one of the quotes above, I like to play the "Orion Event" as the version in which Artemis loved him and killed him rather than Orion being killed by the scorpion. I'm a sucker for angst.
I am not claiming to be either Scarlett Johansson or the Goddess, Artemis. I am simply using this journal for RP and writing purposes. Muse for![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
