Artemis

                           Artemis

Artemis is the daughter of Zeus and Leto, the twin sister    of Apollo. Born on the island of Ortygia (Delos). Artemis is the goddess of chastity, natural environment, the hunt, the moon, and virginity. Artemis rejects love and  marriage, and is devoted to nature and hunting. She is protector of the hunt and nature. Both tamed and untamed animals are under her protection. She even is protector of animal herding and agriculture. Artemis is in many myths but I will not talk about them for school purposes.
