Athena and Artemis were the two favorite daughters of Zeus, but the feelings for Athena and Artemis were different and could not be compared. After metis - Athena's mother had been swallowed up, Athena flew out from the head of Zeus. To Zeus, Athena and Dionysus were his own children. Athena's sensitivity and wisdom made her the most prized subordinate. And Artemis is as a daughter by Zeus love, Zeus can not refuse Artemis put forward any request, Artemis to Zeus for the priesthood and request, Zeus all promised. When she was three years old, Zeus granted her a request as a birthday present. Artemis said to Zeus, "My dear father, grant me eternal virginity and free life. I want to hunt like Apollo, and I need longbows and sharp arrows like Apollo, and hunting gear. And twenty beautiful ocean Nymphs as handmaidens. Finally, you are to give me a city to settle down in." Zeus smiled and said, "Well, my dear daughter, I will grant you all that you ask, and will give you more gifts to atone for the harm done to you by Hera. You will not have one city, but thirty. I want you to rule over continents and islands, and appoint you a protector of them." Artemis was overjoyed, immediately went to Crete, and selected numerous ocean Nymphs as her handmaiden. She went to The island of Lipala to find a Cyclops and had him make a golden bow and arrow. Pan brought her seven female and six male hounds. At last,She then captured six golden-horned deer to pull her chariot. Artemis practiced archery first by shooting at trees and then at wild game. Zeus had promised Artemis the title is no less than his brother, Artemis is also the position next to Hera one of the main gods, Artemis is undoubtedly the most beloved daughter of Zeus. The role played by Artemis is complex. Artemis, the goddess of hunting and fertility, is usually dressed as a hunter, often wearing a belted skirt and hunting boots, holding bows and arrows and hunting spears, accompanied by deer or hounds. Artemis in Greek mythology has nothing to do with the so-called crescent crest, but Diana in Roman mythology has the symbol of the moon on her head. Artemis was often depicted as a beautiful young girl and was the best among the many goddesses on Mount Olympus.
