Hunting

Myth     Interview     Journal

Mymyth is about the Goddess Artemis.

Artemis is the goddess of chastity, virginity, hunting, and wilderness and is the daughter of Zues and Leto. She is also the twin sister of Apollo. The goddess was very possessive and punished with great anger and wrath everyone who disobeyed her wishes. The great king Agamemnon was one of her victims; after he killed one of her sacred deer, she stopped the winds when he tried to sail for the Trojan war; the only way for him to undo the spell was to sacrifice his daughter Iphigenia to the goddess; at the last minute, Artemis exchanged the girl with one of her deer and took her to the land of the Taurus to serve her as a priestess.
