Artemis (mythology)

Artemis was the Greek goddess of hunting (AUDIO: Project: Lazarus) and the Moon, as well as twin sister of Apollo. As a daughter of Zeus, she was also a sibling of Athena, Castor and Pollux, Dionysius, Hebe, Heracles, Minos, Hermes and Persephone. (PROSE: Deadly Reunion)

According to one myth, she accidentally killed her lover Orion with an arrow during a challenge with her brother. (PROSE: Byzantium!) According to another, Orion angered Artemis, either by trying to rape one of her handmaidens or claiming to be a better archer than the goddess; Artemis sent a giant scorpion to kill him, and rewarded it by placing it in the sky as the constellation Scorpio.

Martinique told Chris Cwej that, according to myth, no man could see Artemis unclothed, on pain of death. Artemis Mons, a mountain in the middle of the Aulis Crater on Iphigenia, was named after the goddess. (PROSE: So Vile a Sin)

Her equivalent in the Roman pantheon was Diana. (PROSE: Byzantium!)
