Artemis the Moon Goddess

"The breeze coming in off the water was growing cooler so the three children huddled close to each other and wrapped themselves in the linens to stay warm. Zammie lay on his back on the deck and looked up at the night sky. The man in the moon was staring down at him. He had never seen stars so bright before. He wondered if his mom and dad were looking for him. He was still amazed at the experience they were having, but he and Kyla would have to figure out a way home soon. They couldn’t stay in Greece forever."

"Artemis" by nat-rat 


Artemis was one of the most widely venerated of the Ancient Greek deities. In the classical period of Greek mythology, Artemis was often described as the daughter of Zeus and Leto, and the twin sister of Apollo. She was the Hellenic goddess of the hunt, wild animals, wilderness, childbirth, virginity and young girls, bringing and relieving disease in women; she often was depicted as a huntress carrying a bow and arrows. The deer and the cypress were sacred to her. In later Hellenistic times, she even assumed the ancient role of Eileithyia in aiding childbirth.
