Artemis+1

[] **__Summary__** Artemis, known to the Romans as Diana, was the Goddess of Hunt. She was Apollo’s twin sister and daughter of Zeus and Leto. She was born on mountain Cynthus inDelos. She was one of the three maiden goddesses of Olympus. Artemis tried not to kill young animals or people. The cypress tree and all animals, but most of all the deer, are very important to her.

**__Analysis__** Artemis tells us a lot about the values of the Greeks. The fact that she was the Goddess of Hunt shows us that they hunted for most of their food. Also, they didn’t kill young people or animals, because they wanted to preserve the youth. It was very important for the people of Greece to be skilled hunters. [] **__Connections__**
 * Artemis could cause painless deaths, but she could be mean too. In today’s times, she would be like an abusive husband. Nice one second, then mean the next.
 * A modern value might be if you do something, do something right, the way they hunt. If you do something, do it right.
 * Another modern value is to be patient, hunting requires patience and skill. Patience is a good character value to have.
