There’s always been drama in my family. It’s usually caused by my father cheating on Hera again. And my brother and I are the results of said drama. When my mother, Leto, was pregnant she was constantly harassed by my stepmother. So my mother was forced to give birth to my brother and me on an island. I have been told by my father that I was born a day before Apollo and I helped my mother give birth to him.

My brother and I were raised at Mt. Olympus. My mother, after my birth, was transformed into a quail by my father to keep her hidden from Hera. My stepmother was, of course, mad at my father, which is understandable, but growing up we were abused by Hera, which I think is part of the reason I live outside Olympus. It seems so unfair that we get punished for our own birth. My brother has made amends with Hera, but I haven’t. And I don’t think I’ll ever forgive her.

A man by the name of Agamemnon had just killed one of my sacred stags by entering my sacred grove. Then the dude has the decency to claim he’s a better hunter!

So some time passes, and then I found out that the guy was planning to go to Troy to fight in the Trojan War. I decided to becalm the seas so he was stuck until he was told by his seer that he had to sacrifice his daughter to me. I was like, “Wtf???” so I went to him and said, “Ok man, you don’t have to sacrifice your daughter, but I’ll forgive you if you sacrifice a deer instead,”

So I took his daughter and now she’s my immortal companion.

A while back, two twin giants called Otos and Ephialtes threatened to storm Olympus by stacking mountains until they could reach us. The only way for them to be killed was if they killed each other. Everyone was afraid of them, except for me. At first, Ares attempted to stop the two but was then imprisoned for over a year in a bronze urn. With the threat of the two rising, I took matters into my own hands.

I tracked down the pair, and I took the form of a deer. I ran between the two, pretending to be injured. The brothers threw their spears at me and missed. Their spears struck each other, killing them instantly.

So that was the time I single handily saved Olympus.

Okay, so for the past couple days this guy named Adonis has been boasting that he is a better hunter than me. Like, what the heck! How could a mortal be better than the goddess of hunting! So, I went and found him and told him, “Hey dude, could you stop claiming that you’re a better hunter than me? After all, I am the goddess of hunting.” He replies saying, “Nah, I still think I’m a better hunter.” So, the next day I sent a ravage boar to kill him. And it did. 

Moral of the story; don’t say you’re better than a god.

So the craziest thing happened today. So I was taking a bath, and I saw this mortal man, named Actaeon watching me bathe. He was hunting with me, I thought he was a good guy, but it changed instantly at that moment.  I thought to myself, “Who the heck does this guy think he is!?” So, like any reasonable person, I turned him into a stag and made his dogs kill him.

By far, this was one of the best moments of my life.
