Mythology meme || Artemis ; greek goddess

Artemis was the goddess of chastity, virginity, the hunt, the moon, and the natural environment.

She was the daughter of Zeus and Leto, twin sister of Apollo. She was born on the island of Ortygia (Delos), where Leto had found shelter after being hunted by the lawful wife of Zeus, Hera. As soon as Artemis was born, she helped her mother give birth to her twin brother, thereby becoming the protector of childbirth and labour. She asked her father to grant her eternal chastity and virginity, and never gave in to any potential lovers; devoted to hunting and nature, she rejected marriage and love.

She was the protector of nature and the hunt; both wild and tame animals were under her protection. She also protected the agriculture and animal herding.

Artemis /ˈɑrtɨmɨs/ was one of the most widely venerated of the Ancient Greek deities. She was the Hellenic goddess of the hunt, wild animals, wilderness, childbirth, virginity and protector of young girls, bringing and relieving disease in women; she often was depicted as a huntress carrying a bow and arrows. The deer and the cypress were sacred to her.

I sing of Artemis, whose shafts are of gold, who cheers on the hounds, the pure maiden, shooter of stags, who delights in archery, own sister to Apollo with the golden sword.

"Do you want some cocoa?"

          “ i suppose it would do some good and it           is rather cold outside too...thank you for                                    the offer. ” 

A PALE HAND reached out to grasp the cup being offered to her. well concealed excitement coursed through her as she took thefirst sip. it had been so long since she had cocoa or any sweet at all, in fact. perhaps she would have do this more often.

❛ ––– …BECAUSE, WHO’S THE  one responsible for      teaching me this way ? you know very well that i require extended                                 periods of time to adapt to this !  ❜

        " --and just whose idea was that? most definitly         not me. thats why i’m having someone else help        you. training requires patients, which i don’t have. ”

Fun fact ; you can teach /me/ archery & then I can teach Persephone. That way if she hurts herself or someone else you won't be held responsible & I'm untouchable by those in your Pantheon. Wink wink.

        “ hmm--i wouldn’t mind teaching you,         plus your proportions is fairly desirable         too...and maybe even the less of two                               dangers. ”

        “ --we start tomorrow.”
