Artemis : I Hunt You

One of my favorite Greek goddess is Artemis (the other being, Athena). Now what does Artemis have that makes her so special? Why do we love her? The very reason for her to be loved by mortals of today’s generation (considering that most people prefers Artemis and Athena when we are to talk about Greek Mythology) yet who only loves her bow and arrow (Yes! She does have that ONE love affair whom she killed as what they say). Why? Why? Why? So here is a brief background about Artemis and reasons why we love her (if you do) and why you should love her (cause how in the world can you not love this awesome goddess?).

Artemis is the daughter of Leto and Zeus, and the twin sister of Apollo. She is the goddess of the moon, hunting, forest, hills, virginity and fertility. She was often described with the crescent of the moon above her forehead and was sometimes identified with Selene (goddess of the moon). She was one of those forever alone people - I mean, virgin goddess. So enough with the background and prepare to be stupefied by this kick ass goddess!

Hera : The Only Queen

Hera was the wife and one of the sisters of Zeus, the ruler of the Olympian gods. She was the goddess of marriage. She was known as the protector of marriage and married women were her peculiar care. She was the only queen of all the gods and goddesses. In other words, she was known as the supreme goddess. The Roman name of this goddess is Juno.

Don’t ever dare to steal Zeus from her if you don’t want to experience her wrath. She was chiefly engaged in punishing the many women Zeus fell in love with, even if they yielded only because they were just coerced or tricked by Zeus. It doesn’t matter how innocent the women are or reluctant, the goddess just treated them alike. Her implacable anger will keep on following them until the very end of their clan.

Apollo : The Greek God of Light

Apollo, the son of Zeus and Leto, twin brother of Artemis, born in the little island of Delos, is known as the Greek god of prophecy and oracles, healing, plague and disease, music, song and poetry, archery, and the protection of the young.

He is also described as "The most Greek of all the gods.” Furthermore, he is also the god of Light, in whom is no darkness at all, and so he is known as the god of Truth. No lie would come from his lips.Like all gods, Apollo had a number of lovers. This could represent the different types of love, love of family, of friends, of enemies, of siblings, etc...

I chose to write an article about Apollo because he represents a few things I take an interest in. One of those things is music, and not to mention, like Apollo, I also play a string-instrument. Music has a huge impact on my life. Through music I've made a lot of amazing friends, made others feel something through my singing, and found a way to express myself when no one seems to listen.
