#2 Artemis is a female name. Artemis, the daughter of Zeus and Leto, in Greek religion,the goddess of wild animals, the hunt, and vegetation and of chastity and childbirth; she was identified by the Romans with Diana. Artemis was the daughter of Zeus and Leto and the twin sister of Apollo. Among the rural populace, Artemis was the favourite goddess. Her character and function varied greatly from place to place, but, apparently, behind all forms lay the goddess of wild nature, who danced, usually accompanied by nymphs, in mountains, forests, and marshes. Artemis embodied the sportsman’s ideal, so besides killing game she also protected it, especially the young; this was the Homeric significance of the title Mistress of Animals.
She was known as a hunter and deadly accurate with a bow. Her twin brother was Apollo.
Artemis and Orion fell in love and Apollo was jealous of Orion and created a giant scorpion that Orion had to battle. He fought it for a whole day and became tired. They were on the beach so Orion swam far out to get away from the scorpion. Artemis came looking for him and Apollo came with her. He spotted Orion's head way out and told Artemis he didn't think she could hit that speck way out. She drew her bow and an arrow and shot. She hit the spec not knowing it was Orion. Later when Orion's body washed up she knew what had happened. She asked Zeus to restore Orion but he refused. She then placed his body in the sky and placed the giant scorpion in the sky opposite Orion so he would never have to battle the scorpion. That's why we never see Orion and Scorpius in the night sky at the same time.
