Ancient Heroes: Artemis
Introduction
On top of Mount Olympus, in northern Greece was a country for the gods, known as Olympia
(Bingham, 15). The Olympians included Zeus, his brothers and sisters, Apollo, Ares and Hermes, the
goddesses Athena, Artemis, and Aphrodite (Bingham 15).
Artemis was worshipped in most Greek cities, however as a secondary god (Gods 31). The
Greeks in Asia Minor (present-day Turkey), however, considered Artemis to be a principal deity (Gods
31). In one of the main cities of Asia Minor, Ephesus, a magnificent temple was built to honour her, and it
became one of the “Seven Wonders of the World” (Scarre).
The product that is being created for Artemis is the “2012 Artemis Advanced Digital Camera.”
This camera is specially designed to take clear, accurate, precise photographs, even of objects that are far
away. It also has an enhanced zoom lens that allows for even closer shots of a distant target compared to
leading digital cameras. Artemis would certainly use this camera to take pictures of her prey as she hunts
on Mount Olympus with her silver arrows and fierce hounds.
Background
Artemis was the goddess of the moon (Payment 30). She looked after the wild animals, but was
also a huntress (Payment 30). “She also looked after unmarried girls and was the goddess of childbirth
(Payment 30). Artemis’ mother was Leto, a daughter of the Titans, and her father was Zeus. She had a
twin brother, Apollo (Gibson 44). It is described in ancient Greek writings that Artemis was born without
giving her mother any pain, and that is why she is worshipped by Greek women as the Goddess of
Childbirth (Gods 32).
