Greek Myth XI: Hymns to Artemis, or You Remember Apollo’s Sister

Posted byTriumvir ClioPosted inGreek Myth, The Greeks

Today we have two more Homeric Hymns, numbers 9 and 27, both dedicated to Artemis.

Discussion Prompts
  1. I described Artemis as being overshadowed by Apollo. Why might this be an apt description?
  2. Artemis is described as goddess of the dance in Hymn 27. Why do you think that is?
  3. I called Artemis a nature goddess. Do you think I am correct in that language? Why or why not?
  4. Apollo or Artemis? Why?

I have a BA in History and Classical Civilization from Loyola University Chicago and an MPH from Western Michigan University. I've been a geometry teacher, a religion teacher, a writing tutor. I'm a writer, a knitter, a dancer, a singer, an actor. And, yes, for fun I like to reread everything that was assigned while getting my classics degree.
