2 Who Is Artemis?  Artemis is the goddess of the moon  She also has a twin brother named Apollo  She is the daughter of Leto and Zeus

3 Bringing Artemis Back to Olympus  Zeus sent for the twins on their 3 rd birthday because he knew that they were true godlings so they must be brought to Olympus  Zeus favored Artemis so after he gave Apollo his gifts, he let her choose her own gifts

4 Artemis’ Story  Artemis’ story is a quite unique story. You have probably heard of it before. Artemis was brought back to Olympus on her 3 rd birthday. Zeus asked what Artemis wanted for her birthday and she listed a lot of things. She ended up getting ten dogs, seventy nymphs, and a silver bow and arrow. One day Artemis caught a glimpse of somebody watching her so she quickly turned him into a stag. She whistled up her dogs and they tore the stag to pieces. A couple of days later she turned Callisto into a bear and whistled up her dogs to go and tear the bear up, but Zeus caught her and put a stop to it.

5 Fun Facts  Born under a palm tree on the island of Delos  She does not like men  She is the goddess of many things such as the hunt, wild animals, wilderness, childbirth and virginity  When Artemis set out on her own she studied the healing of nature plants and protected the animals with her silver bow  The bear and the deer are her sacred animals  Her Roman name is Diana
