Artemis: The Golden Arrow


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Of all the Greek gods and goddess I chose Artemis. A quick info on her background, her father was the most powerful god Zeus; but on the other hand, her mother was only a mortal named Leto. She was the first born of Leto's twins, where her twin brother was the Olympian god Apollo. Right after her birth, she immediately showed a capability of helping in giving child-birth to her younger brother.

As she grows, she develops more skills with her brother specially in the art of archery. But they had also discovered unique abilities that other does not have. She has a deep connection with the nature around her; the wildernness, and the animals. She also protects the women, helps in childbirthn and represents virginity of women. Using her archery skills she developed, she enjoyed the hunting of animals which she also protects, giving her the tilte "The Goddess of the Hunt". She allows hunters to hunt animals only at her command.

I chose her because she acts the same as a mother to everyone.She also allows anything done to an extent and duration. As one of the three virgin goddesses, she cares for the welfare of women and is heavily against violence against women. She also shows a sense of responsibility a mother should have though she hadn't gave birth to any chldren. She shows patience in every actions and tolerates misdeeds but still sentences with the proper punishments.
