      And decided to take a leaf out of her sister Athena's book ? Maybe there's a case for saying that Apollo turning his late boyfriends into trees or flowers was inspired by Athena turning Arachne into a spider after the young weaver hanged herself.

      @@NapoleonCalland just like the story of Medusa , people been running with Roman's version of Greek myths claiming it's Greek "mythology" just because they are more polemic and give more views.
      The original myth of Medusa, actuality she was not cursed but blessed.
      No man, mortal or immortal could ever touch her again and she was " cursed" in the midle of the act causing Poseidon to leave .
      Medusa became a symbol of female security , in the ancient greece , there were amulets and symbols that were placed in houses to show they were places were women could be safe.
      Medusa mean" guardian" "protector".
      After Medusa got corrupted , and even after her death Athena placed her head in her shield.

    Her role with children is one of my favorite aspects of Artemis, the italian folkstory regarding her is my favorite tale in which two children are orphaned and pray to the statue of with a doe suckling on her thumb. She cared deeply for the children and brought them fresh food that she had hunted or gathered for the children. They thanked her with what they had, witch was the bones of the meal and her flowers and natural gifts that were of the domain. Artemis greatly pleased by there humble offerings cared for the children for many years leaving the townsfolk to wonder how they were still alive. Long story short a hypocritical priest try to bully the children into being his servants casting heresy upon Artemis dishonoring the statue buy hurling on the ground and shoveling it in mud which caused the head of the statue to roll. Short time later and man the precept killed's head was on his bed when he awoke. She is strait up gangster, maybe her folkstory inspired the Godfather who knows

      What about the birth of Asclepius? Apollo always leaned heavily on his sister and father for support, and when his three-quarters-mortal wife, Coronis, was unfaithful, he went to his sister Artemis to confide in her. Artemis simply took her bow and shot Coronis to death. Coronis was pregnant with Apollo's son, though, and Artemis, realising this, cut the boy out of his dead mother's womb and gave him to their little brother Hermes to raise. It's about family.

      Abnormalee ~Zeus forced Hera into marriage, literally. Then he turns around and demands she follows the rules of marriage, but tells her (through his actions) that he doesn't have to. Hera is always being accused of being a jealous harpy.
      She was NOT jealous. She was righteously furious with the injustice of his behavior toward her. He forces her into marriage and then repeated disrespects and humiliates her for his own sick pleasure. Her reaction is not that of a jealous woman, but of a woman repeatedly being abused by his behavior.
      Turn this around for just a moment: How many men would tolerate being forced into a marriage and then told that that it is perfectly alright for his wife to repeatedly humiliate and disrespect him and he should just suck it up? Not many, I bet.

      In Greek Mythology Helios is the god of sun (and sun himself) and Selene the goddess of moon (and moon herself). In later eras though, Apollo and Artemis became gods of sun and moon too. Sometimes they even ride the chariots of Helios and Selene.
      The goddess of witchcraft, magic and sorcery is clearly Hecate.

    After knowing Artemis' story, I can confirm that she's my patron goddess. I've always been interested in archery and the constellation Orion since I was a kid. The constellation is always visible when you look up in the sky from our house and I make wishes on it when I was a kid😅 Also, I prefer the companion of animals than humans and I don't like being in a romantic relationship. I can relate so much to her.

    That was an incredible summary. I really knew nothing about Greek mythology. But somehow it just plays a huge role into my life. I was named Kira after a daughter of Zeus in the movie Xanadu in 1985, went to Apollo high school, I named the tortoise I had a spartan, and the other one was named Aphrodite. I have a ball python and have always loved the outdoors and animals.
    And so this is the part that most people might rolled her eyes but I thought that some people on here might think it’s an amazing story. I’ve been studying taro and astrology the past few months and then a few weeks ago I was doing a past life regression hypnotherapy from another RUclipsr named Michael Sealy. In this vision I kept hearing the name Artemis. I felt like I could see someone near me that had a fencing uniform on. Like swordplay fencing chain-link uniform. Went through some other things and then woke up out of the Hipnosis. The very next day I start talking to this guy on Facebook to randomly decided to tell me that he is a major follower of Greek mythology. He has Apollo tattooed on one arm and Artemis tattooed on the other and guess what he does for a living? He builds fences. He’s a fencer LOL. I feel like I keep getting these “new information system upgrades“ in my brain and so much of this rings very true.

When I was much younger, my father had an alabaster bust of her running through the forest with her deer. At the time, I did not know who she was, and he always called her Diana. I thought it was one of the many ladies he dated. It turns out I had always loved her. Thank you for this.

  • @vitriolicAmaranth
    @vitriolicAmaranth 3 года назад +6

    Artemis has always been my favourite. A really fun bit blurring mythology and history is her cult at Brauron. A sacred bear was slain in her garden there, so as payment she demanded that a number of maidens of Brauron be given to her as "little bears" to replace the slain animal. This became a tradition in Brauron- Overseen by older priestesses of Artemis, girls would be sent to temple grounds as they approached adolescence, where in sacred places forbidden to males they would "live as bears," learning to live off of the land and becoming strong and clever, while also learning to cook and tend a home, preparing them for their futures as wives. In other words, it was like an ancient Greek Girl Scouts.
    But maybe the best part is that the temples to house these girls started being built at strategic military chokepoints. The vast majority of soldiers were male and thus not allowed on those sacred grounds, and everyone was kind of scared of Artemis, so this ensured armies simply could not move through the area around Brauron, ensuring peace for the city.

    Artemis is a specific favourite of mine particularly the stories of her skills with a bow and arrow and the slaying of the 7 daughters in retribution for the persecution of her and Apollo"s mother as did Apollo doing the same to the 7 son's!
    The fact that her lover came back as a stag makes me understand the tears shed by our monarch when she herself encountered a stag whilst out walking whilst her family were out hunting for the Stagband she shood it away, but sadly it was hunted down and shot by her neighbours and I felt that this in away showed some form of significance to her majesty at a very difficult time in her life!
    I am sure that given her wisdom that she would not find my comparisons at all disrespectful, just purely insightful!
