f(x) aesthetics; greek goddesses 》Amber ⇢ Artemis

Artemis, in Greek religion, the goddess of wild animals, the hunt, and vegetation, and of chastity and childbirth. Artemis was the daughter of Zeus and Leto and the twin sister of Apollo. Among the rural populace, Artemis was the favourite goddess. Her character and function varied greatly from place to place, but, apparently, behind all forms lay the goddess of wild nature, who danced, usually accompanied by nymphs, in mountains, forests, and marshes. Artemis embodied the sportsman’s ideal, so besides killing game, she also protected it, especially the young; this was the Homeric significance of the title Mistress of Animals.

f(x) aesthetics; greek goddesses 》Luna ⇢ Persephone

In Greek mythology, Persephone is the daughter of Zeus, the god of gods, and Demeter, the goddess of agriculture. As the wife of Hades, king of the underworld. Persephone is a true nature child, being the daughter of the goddess of the harvest. Her mother is also affectionately known as Mother Nature. Persephone is a living example of youth, beauty, and life, and draws the attention of the king of the dead. While picking flowers in the Vale of Nysa, she was seized by Hades and dragged down to the underworld. For the rest of her life, she would be required to spend half of every year in the underworld. Thereafter, Persephone's return to the underworld accounted for the barren appearance of the Grecian fields during mid-summer, when, after harvest, the crops dried up until the return of the autumnal rains.

f(x) aesthetics; greek goddesses 》Victoria ⇢ Hestia

Hestia’s name means “hearth” or “fireplace,” and her status shows how important the hearth was in the social and religious life of Ancient Greeks. Making and preserving fire was both essential and difficult for more primitive societies, which made the household fire a sacred element at a very early stage of history. In later days, Hestia became its embodiment. One of the original Twelve Olympians. Cronus’ and Rhea’s first-born child, she was pure and peaceful.
