Historical story

Moon Goddess Artemis (Diana), who controls hunting and chasteness

Artemis is one of the 12 Olympian gods alongside Zeus and Apollo, and she is the goddess of hunting and chasteness.

Her twin brother Apollo is the sun god, while her sister Artemis is the goddess of the moon, and is called Diana (Diana in English) in Roman mythology, which is the same god of Greece. It is a fairly major name for British and Americans.

Like the singer Diana Ross and the late Princess Diana. The song "Dirty Diana", which is said to have been sung by Michael about Diana Ross, is also famous.

Let's take a look at Artemis (Diana) this time.

Zeus and Leto's daughter

Artemis was born almost the same as her twin brother Apollo, so I'll omit it this time.

There are various theories about the birth of Artemis, but this time I adopted her mother Leto theory. In addition to Leto, there are also theories such as Demeter, the goddess of fertility, and Persephone, who was taken away by the underworld.

Her newborn Artemis suddenly takes on the role of her midwife when her mother Leto gives birth to Apollo. She is a god, and she grows fast.

Like her younger brother Apollo, Artemis is a god with various roles, and in addition to the above, he also controls childbirth.

Orion and Artemis

Orion and Artemis of "Orion", which is famous as a winter seiza and can be seen even in Tokyo, fell in love.

As soon as they fell in love, they moved to Crete and started living together, but Apollo, a younger brother who has a sister complex, gets angry at this.

"My sister is the god of chastity, but I can't do that!"

I don't know if he said that, but Apollo seems to have disturbed the relationship between the two every time.

Apollo, who is too jealous, plans to assassinate Orion and releases a poisonous scorpion to Orion.

It's overkill, Apollo!

Orion escapes to the sea for a while, which was as planned by Apollo.

Apollo whispers to Artemis, who is also a master of bows.

"Sister, you can't shoot down such a distant light, right?"

"What to say, Apollo, it's too easy for me. Don't make a fool of yourself."

Thus, Artemis on Apollo shot through his lover, Orion.

It's an anecdote of the famous "Orion's Arrow".

It was his father Zeus who felt sorry for him, and he said he made it a constellation in the sky because he wanted to see Orion. Zeus is also a parent of man, no, a parent of God.

Orion said he hated scorpions in this case and he started to run away when Scorpio rose.

Artemis has a sad love story like Apollo.

However, in the case of Artemis, the cause is Apollo ...
