Artemisia created “Susanna and the Elders”, “Judith and Her Maidservant with the Head of Holofernes”, “Self- Portrait as the Allegory of Painting”, and plenty more artworks. My favorite artwork that Artemisia completed is called “Judith Slaying Holofernes.”…

Hecate Also known as Trivia in her Roman equivalent, Hecate is the goddess (previously a Titan) of magic, crossroads, moon, ghosts and necromancy whom is often depicted holding two torches and a key (torches may originate from her Titaness mother; Asteria as she was Titan of the Shining Light and often bore with her a torch). She bears a keen association with her cousin Artemis (Both of which refused marriage to remain under the title; “Virgin Goddess”. The association is further exemplified by their own personal paradigms regarding the protection of women, being both known as protectors of women. This holds especially true for times of childbirth.

Greek mythology was used by the ancient Greeks as a way to explain and give meaning to the world and the natural phenomena they witnessed. The myths the ancient Greeks established were closely connected to their religion, explained where humanity had come from, and where it was going after death. The ancient Greeks understanding of death included the idea of afterlife where there was another world, known as the underworld, which souls went to after its death. The Underworld is the kingdom of the dead ruled by god Hades, and was known to be either beneath the depths or at the ends of earth.…

Apollo is the twin brother of Artemis and he is famous in mythology as the god of prophecy. It is debated whether or not Apollo’s head belongs to the Lansdowne Artemis statue; on the Los Angeles County Museum of Art website, it lists it as part of the art piece but other research says it may not and it is difficult to tell because of replicas from the past. The way that the light shines on the Lansdowne Artemis statue illuminates it and creates a different type of atmosphere from the Bateman Mercury room. The smaller room is also darker than the bigger room which brings even more attention to the Lansdowne Artemis. The positioning and the lighting of this statue definitely reflects the museum’s statement on how the Lansdowne Artemis statue is considered the finest ancient sculpture in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s…

Based on the conflict between Artemis and Aphrodite in Hippolytus, the conclusion which can be drawn is that the Greeks perceived their gods to be selfish, amoral, vengeful and petty, pursuing their own goals in disregard of the moral and responsible path and killing humans to attack the deities which favored said humans; the conflict between Demeter and the rest of the Olympian gods in Hymn to Demeter reinforces the notion that the gods did not care for mortals when solving conflicts between each other, and used mortals as a way to attack each other; and from the conflict between Apollo and the Furies in The Furies, the conclusion is that the Greeks believe the deities will not go to the point of actually harming each other directly, but will…
