	Mythography \| The Greek Goddess Artemis in Myth and Art
		Myths and legends show that the goddess Artemis was aloof and free-spirited, and not constrained by husband or hearth.
		In myth, Callisto was at one point a follower of the virgin goddess, but when she became involved in an affair with the god Zeus, Artemis had her revenge on the unfortunate nymph.
		In myth, Artemis is sometimes identified with Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon.

		Myth is no arbitrary invention, but the account of the inspired poet, who, enjoying natural authority, became the founder of culture.
		The myths and the notion of the sacred reach man not through whim or intellectual theory, but through poetic inspiration which unveils the twin heights of beauty and significance.
		Instead we mean by 'myth' the most luminous representations ever to seize the mind and heart of mankind, sustaining the spiritual life of generations, the art of ages, and the very pillars of society.

		Myth is a comprehensive (but not exclusive) term for stories primarily concerned with the gods and humankind's relations with them; saga, or legend (and we use the words interchangeably), has a perceptible relationship to his- tory; however fanciful and imaginative, it has its roots in historical fact.
		Myths attempt to explain the origin of our physical world: the earth and the heavens, the sun, the moon, and the stars; where hu man beings came from and the dichotomy between body and soul; the source of beauty and goodness, and of evil and sin; the nature and meaning of love; and so on.
		Greek mythology, largely because of the genius of the authors who told the stories in their literary form, has too often in the past been considered as something so unusual that it can be set apart from other mythologies.

	Greek Gods of the Amazons
		Ares, the Greek god of war, held domain over battles, warriors, and soldiers, but was also affected by the rage of war (hence he's been given the attribute of a berserker).
		Thus, it is not beyond theory to assume that the Amazons stood outside of normal Greek civilization, in the realm of wild and unbridled nature, and in the completely mythological sense, they served as examples of the fierceness of an untamed, unmarried, or uncivilized woman or girl.
		The appearance of this note in the Greek myth suggests that Apollo was born (as a representative of the traditional Greek male), into the concept of a natural order, or the natural way things should be in Greek civilization.

	The Nymphs in Greek Myths
		That particular story is important to the Greeks as Hylas, the beautiful beloved (yes, in the sexual way) of Heracles, was sent to go get water on the island of Mysia, and the naiads there, totally taken in by his beauty, carried him off.
		See, Callisto was one of Artemis' nymphs (and thus not supposed to be getting down with any men), but Zeus got wise and came to her as Artemis and seduced her.
		Another story of Styx is actually the story of a young woman named Rhodope who dedicated herself to Artemis which pissed off the sexually dangerous Aphrodite who caused her to fall in love with a young hunter with whom she did the horizontal mambo in a cave in the mountains.

	The Mythology of the Constellations
		The earliest references to the mythological significance of the Greek constellations may be found in the works of Homer, which probably date to the 7th century B.C. In the Iliad, for instance, Homer describes the creation of Achilleus's shield by the craftsman god Hephaistos:
		By the 5th century B.C., however, most of the constellations had come to be associated with myths, and the Catasterismi of Eratosthenes completed the mythologization of the stars.
		The influence of both the Greek and Roman cultures may be plainly seen; the myths behind the constellations date back to ancient Greece, but we use their Latin names.

		As a follower of Artemis, Callisto, whom Hesiod said was the daughter of Lycaon, king of Arcadia, took a vow to remain a virgin, as did all the nymphs of Artemis.
		The myth may be derived from the fact that a set of constellations appear close together in the sky, in and near the Zodiac sign of Libra, namely Ursa Minor, Ursa Major, Boötes, and Virgo.
		Boötes, since it resembles a male stick-figure, is in some versions of the myth explicitly identified as Arcas (untransformed), and was in myths elsewhere said represents a male god.
