	Actaeon, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com
		Actaeon is the hunter who was torn to pieces by his own dogs after having been turned into a stag by Artemis, whom he had seen unrobed.
		For not knowing anything about the secret cave of Artemis in the vale of Gargaphia, Actaeon came wandering with his dogs after a day of hunt, and entered the cave when the goddess of the wild woods was preparing to bathe in the waters of the spring Parthenius together with the nymphs that attended her.

		In Greek mythology, Actaeon, or Aktaion was a son of Aristaeus and Autonoe in Boeotia, a hunter who endured the wrath of Diana (Artemis).

	Actaeon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Greek mythology, Actaeon (or Aktaion), son of Aristaeus and Autonoe in Boeotia, was a famous Theban hero, trained by the centaur Cheiron, who suffered the fatal wrath of Artemis (or her Roman counterpart Diana).
		Artemis was bathing in the woods near Boeotian Orchomenos when the hunter Actaeon stumbled across her, thus seeing her naked.
		Once seen, Actaeon was punished by Artemis: she forbade him speech — if he tried to speak, he would be changed into a stag — for the unlucky profanation of her virginity's mystery.

		The legend of Actaeon is one of the many tales in Greek mythology that cautions mortals about the power of the gods - and especially the goddesses.
		Artemis, startled, noticed Actaeon's presence, and immediately her wrath at being seen in such a state by a mortal man caused her to react with fury.
		So Actaeon's hounds, blinded with lust for this tempting prey, pounced upon their master and tore him apart, thus ending the life of the unlucky man. And Artemis had her revenge...

	The Classics Pages - Diana and Actaeon
		Diana (aka Artemis) was the virgin goddess of the wild places - killer as well as protectress of furry things, protectress of girls evolving from virgin to mother - and killer of women in childbirth.
		Perhaps he was not aware of the further irony - that the goddess, when she found herself hunted and spied on by Actaeon, turned him into a stag who was then torn to pieces and devoured by his own hounds.
		Just so was Diana pursued by Actaeons - with long-range lenses - but despite being a princess, an icon, a symbol and now seemingly a saint and a martyr, she was not an immortal goddess.
