Transcription: ### Hello, my name is Daniel, from Santuário Lunar and this video is about the Goddess Artemis. Artemis is a Greek Goddess, she's responsible for wild animals, wildlife, the crescent moon… When she was born, she was born a complete woman. She even helped her own mother during her birth! There are many stories about her, throughout her life, but one of the most important one is that Zeus, her father, asked her what she wanted for birthday, that thing she wanted the most. And she said she wanted to be free, free in the wild life. She was granted this wish so she started to live among the animals, among the forests and she started to protect these animals from hunters, from predators, from anything that could make bad for them. Artemis, although she was free from everything else and she was living alone in the forest she fell in love with Orion, Poseidon's son, and they were very happy together. Orion was also a hunter, but a different kind of hunter. He didn't hunt to have fun. He hunted to have food. So this kind of hunting she allowed against the animals. And then, being happy with him, enraged her brother, Apollo,and Apollo to challenge her and to finish this happiness created a scheme and he challenged her to hit a target in the middle of the ocean during the night. She was a great hunter and then she accurately hit the target but the waves brought the target and she discovered it was Orion, actually. She got so sad, she got so disappointed with men because she was betrayed by her own brother and not to be separate from Orion she rose his body to the skies and created the constellation of Orion.
