In a legend it is said that the goddess Artemis was born a whole day before her brother Apollo, on the island of Ortygia. Legend also says that soon after his birth he helped his mother, Leto, cross the strait to Delos, where Artemis helped his mother give birth to his brother. In Greek mythology Artemis is the daughter of Zeus and Leto as well as the goddess of hunting, wild animals, virginity and childbirth. In Roman mythology there is a goddess named Diana who was the daughter of Jupiter and Leto and was the goddess of hunting, wild animals, virginity and childbirth. Artemis and Diana are Olympian goddesses, but the location and purpose of the Greco-Roman Parthenon can be interpreted in many different ways by the seemingly inconsistent, varied, and complicated areas of responsibility of these goddesses. Artemis/Diana's place in the Greco-Roman Parthenon is to represent the powerful, independent woman and her feminine ideals in the Parthenon. Artemis/Diana can be seen to have the ideals of an independent woman due to her natural tendencies as a result of her areas of responsibility and being the only goddess of the Parthenon to consistently stand by the woman. This is also evident from the actions he took against Actaeon. In the story of Actaeon he is walking in the forest when he meets Artemis, in the Greek version and Diana in the Roman version, while bathing in a pool of water in a cave with some nymphs. So struck by her beauty, Actaeon says and observes her bathroom for just a moment. Artemis/Diana immediately notices that Actaeon is watching her. "Immediately, seeing a man, all naked as they were, the nymphs, beating their breasts, filled the whole grove with sudden cries and gathered around Diana for c... of paper ...... and it may be seen this way from her meeting with Actaeon and killing him, as well as the high standard of chastity she maintains, her willingness to assist all women, and her being a one-of-a-kind goddess All of this shows that the place of Artemis/Diana in the Greco-Roman Parthenon is to represent the powerful and independent woman and her feminine ideals in the Parthenon.• AD Melville.
