CLST 2090 : Exam #2 Notes Part 1
Document Summary
Apollo"s twin sister; daughter of zeus & leto. Goddess of the forest; that part of the earth that"s still wild goddess of nature. Artemis is a terrifying goddess; heartless, ruthless, merciless; she has the character of the thing she"s goddess of. Ugliness & horror out there along w/ the sunset & majestic trees. Nature & violence is random & brutal (nature doesn"t punish you for your sins but rather for your mistakes nature doesn"t punish the wicked, it"s the careless) Because she"s the goddess of the wilderness, that means she"s the goddess of hunting & of wild animals. One of the very few virgin goddesses; she hated sex so she never participated in sex of any kind (hestia & athena were the other 2) As he was searching, he accidently saw artemis by the pool naked (seeing someone naked has always been something of an invasion) in greek mythology, if you did it, you were guilty.
