__ My first story showing you my POWER!!!!! __

If you don't know I am very possessive and I'm not afraid to show my wrath on anyone, and anyone who disobeys my animals i will certainly show you whose boys! Have you heard the story of me and Agamemnon? If not then this is that story. He killed a stag in one of my sacred grove, and how did I respond? Well I stopped the winds when his ships were crossing the sea to go to fight in the battle of Troy. A smart man told him that l would bring the winds back, and the only way I would bring the winds back is if he sacrificed his daughter but I would never kill an innocent women. So that is one version but the one l feel is the truth is that Agamemnon had to give his daughter,Iphigenia to me as a priestess. I traded a deer in his place. But if you want to hear the fake version, he did sacrifices his daughter to me. Then l set him on his way to fight in Troy.

This Story is How I was Born! In one of my legends I was born first before my twin brother Apollo. I was born on an island of Ortygia. then almost immediately after my birth I helped my mother cross the straits over to Delos, where I delivered my brother Apollo. And that is the beginning of my role of me being the guardian of young children and patron of women in childbirth. Being a goddess of contradictions, I was the protectress of women in labor, but it my arrows can put a women down and die a painful death, only if she was having trouble and she was about to die.

Artemis- I am the goddess of hunting... who does this chump think he is???? Im the best no one else :-) Ares- I hunt men, what do you hunt??? A deer? I am the god of war and i know how to kill best!  Athena- I was taken out of my fathers head in battle gear, Ares shut up the women rule the battlefield.  Ares- Last time i checked Athena, i saw no women on the battefield at Troy... I only saw men fighting men while the women were in the kitchen or watching the battle with the king... big deal you came out of a head in battle gear, I fight for a living.
