  1. Apollo-
    In the myth of Apollo, he is considered the best looking of all the gods. Apollo gets a bow and decides to hunt a python that killed his mother. Apollo ends up hurting and eventually killing the python. Apollo then challenges Marsyas to a contest where the winner decides the punishment. In the contest, they both had to play instruments. Apollo wins the contest and kills Marsyas. This myth shows how gods and goddesses react with humans.

  3. I choose Artemis. She was born with her twin named Apollo. Zeus asked what she wanted when she was really young I think age three. She said she wanted a pack of dogs, to go by many names, a silver bow and some other things. Then it went and described how she got each of her things and that's how the myth of Artemis went.

  4. The myth of Artemis is the story of one of the two twins of Zeus. She is the goddess of the moon, who was loved dearly by Zeus for her beauty. After being saved from a python and living on an island with her brother Apollo, she was brought up to Olypmus. There, Zeus asked her what she wanted for gifts, and she replied that she wanted dogs, a silver bow, a group of nymphs, and a single city (she didn't like cities.) As she was bathing in a river, a man was watching her, and when she noticed she turned him into a deer and sent her dogs to kill him (this brought her vow to not fall in love with men).

  5. In the myth of Artemis, a young Leto has twins to the god Zeus. The twins were born to be gods so Zeus decided to give them a gift of power. Apollo chose the sun, and had a bow made out of gold. While Artemis whom Zeus favored over Apollo got everything for which she wished. She wished for, the best hunting dogs in the land, One city, many names, a silver bow, and a group of people to follow her. She got every one of these granted and more. Artemis is known as the goddess of the moon and the hunt.

    apollo is my favorite myth because of how he hunts down and kills the python that killed his mom. apollo beats marsyas in a music playing contest and he wins and kills him. to me, this myth shows determination and pride.

  7. Artemis-
    In the myth of Artemis she is Zeus's favorite of the twins. Zeus allows her to get anything she wants. Artemis then goes and gets gold bow and gold arrows and then she also gets a pack of dogs. When she hunts she hunts she turns whatever shes hunting into an animal and has the dogs attack them. Artemis then turns Zeus's girlfriend into a bear and then Zeus banishes the bear to the stars so Hera wouldnt get suspicious.

  11. Apollo was the most beautiful god, and a master at music, poetry, math, and medicine. One story tells of Apollo chasing down his enemy the Python. Killing Python made Mother Earth very angry at Apollo. Another story tells of Apollo challenging Marsyas to a musical competition, forcing him to play his instrument upside down while singing, and of course Apollo won.

  15. Artemis was a twin and was the most beautiful goddess ever born. She was the daughter of Zeus and a nymph. Zeus granted all of her wishes. She asked for many names and a silver bow and quiver that never ran out. She also asked for many dogs and nymphs to accompany her on her hunts. With these gifts she became the goddess of hunting.

  16. Artemis-
    Zeus and a nymph named Leto had two children, one named Artemis. Zeus favored Artemis because she was the more beautiful baby. As a result, he gave her any gift she desired and gave Artemis the power to go get those gifts. Artemis received all the gifts from other gods and goddesses. Zeus pursued one of her nymphs which cased Artemis to turn her into a bear for her dogs to hunt and kill. So Hera would not be suspicious of Zeus, he sent the nymph into the stars as a constellation as a bear.

  19. Artemis is born as twins with Apollo. She pretty much got whatever she asked for including a pack of hunting dogs. Artemis turns someone into a bear andd sends her dogs after them. Zeus saves them by turning them into constellations.

  20. Artemis
    I choose Artemis because she's a natural hunter. Artemis was born a twin to Apollo, and just like him, she loves the bow. Her uncle Zeus asked her for whatever she wants. She asks for a silver bow and quiver that its arrows will always replenish, along with maidens to hunt with her. Zeus gave her these and she whooped in joy and started to hunt. She swore her self to being a maiden forever, but she could take that away.

  23. Apollo:
    The myth of Apollo explained how he was the most beautiful and how he became the god of music, poetry, mathematics, and medicine. Although he was a very wise god in his early years he was very rash and arrogant. One arrogant act that he did was to kill the Python (the beast hunting his mother) in the sacred place of the oracles of Mother Earth. This appalled many but he appeased them and made it up. Apollo also mistreated a satyr named Marsyas whom was challenged by Apollo to a music contest and lost, the punishment was death. This punishment was horrible due to the fact that the contest was unfair. Although Apollo was a great god he was very unjust in his early days.

  24. In the myth Artemis, she is one of the twins from Zeus and Leto. In Zeus's opinion she is one of the most beautiful gods ever. He tells her she can ask him for anything and everything she was wants, an she will get it. (gifts) The rest of the myth describes all the things she got, and how she hunts with her silver bow!
