Artemis was distraught at Apollo's trick, and so she turned Orion into a constellation. In retaliation, she also killed one of Apollo's own love interests, named Chione, when provoked.
She loved him so much that she would have given up her virginity to be with him, but there were a few problems. Apollo didn't want his sister to be with the hunter, he fell in love with one of her followers while was in love with Artemis and Orion was killing too many animals. After his death, Artemis was heartbroken.
Artemis and Orion in Greek mythology are lovers who faced a tragic ending in their love story. The relationship between Orion, a mere mortal, and Artemis, the goddess of hunting, was devastated by none other than her twin brother, Apollo, who was provoked by his jealousy.
He was a great hunter like her, but still gave her the proper respect. Apollo grew jealous of Artemis's affection to Orion and some stories say that sent a scorpion that stung Orion in the heel.
Although Artemis did not have any children of her own, she protected women during pregnancy and during childbirth.
When clouds weren't blocking her view, Artemis gazed down on Orion as he roamed around his deserted island, and she fell in love with him. But there was a problem: The gods could not mingle with the mortals. Artemis knew this but couldn't resist.
Asclepius is said to have been Apollo's favorite demigod child. Asclepius became even more skilled in medicine than his father Apollo, most likely because he devoted all of his time to it.
In the myth, Apollo falls madly in love with Daphne, a woman sworn to remain a virgin. Apollo hunts Daphne who refuses to accept his advances. Right at the moment he catches her, she turns into a laurel tree, a scene famously depicted in Bernini's Apollo and Daphne sculpture.
Another common cause of Artemis' vengeance was betrayal. Callisto, one of Artemis' virginal companions, committed such a crime. Callisto was seduced by Zeus, undetected by the other Greek gods. It was only when Callisto was already with child and was seen bathing by the goddess, that the deception was discovered.
Daphne, in her effort to escape him, was changed into a laurel, his sacred tree; Coronis was shot by Apollo's twin, Artemis, when she proved unfaithful; and Cassandra rejected his advances and was punished by being made to utter true prophecies that no one believed.
(1) WRATH AVENGER OF LETO
The gods Apollon and Artemis later appeared, seeking to avenge their mother, and Leimos slew his brother out of fear of accusation. Artemis saw his guilt, and in her wrath, struck him down with arrows.
The myth of Artemis and her sleeping lover, Endymion.
Artemis, the virgin goddess of nature and hunting, killed Niobe's seven daughters with her lethal arrows and their dead bodies were lying unburied for nine days.
The most celebrated of his loves were the nymph Daphne, princess Koronis (Coronis), huntress Kyrene (Cyrene) and youth Hyakinthos (Hyacinthus). The stories of Apollo's lovers Daphne and Kyrene can be found on their own separate pages--see the Apollo pages sidebar.
In Greek mythology, Hyacinthus was a Spartan prince of remarkable beauty and a lover of the sun god Apollo.
Muses, the nine goddesses of arts, poetry, and song were all his lovers.
Being associated with chastity, Artemis at an early age asked her father Zeus to grant her eternal virginity. Also, all her companions were virgins. Artemis was very protective of her purity, and gave grave punishment to any man who attempted to dishonor her in any form.
Apollo loved his sister dearly, but he was vain, and he grew jealous of this friendship. "How can you love a mere mortal?" he asked Artemis. "He is heroic," she told her brother. This infuriated Apollo.
Siproites, while hunting, saw Artemis bathing naked; in response to the offence, the virgin goddess turned him into a woman: The Cretan, Siproites, had also been turned into a woman for having seen Artemis bathing when out hunting.
The sharp, gold-tipped arrow pierced the heart of Apollo inflaming his love for Daphne, a beautiful nymph, daughter of the river god Peneus, while the blunt, lead-tipped arrow struck the nymph creating an intense aversion for love in the her heart.
Angered by the insult, Cupid shot him with a golden love arrow causing Apollo to fall in love with the first person he saw. Cupid then shot Daphne with a lead-tipped arrow causing her to be impervious to love. At that moment, Apollo caught sight of Daphne, who was out hunting, and fell in love.
According to the usual version, his great beauty attracted the love of Apollo, who killed him accidentally while teaching him to throw the discus; others related that Zephyrus (or Boreas) out of jealousy deflected the discus so that it hit Hyacinthus on the head and killed him.
The Birth of Apollo
He was an illegitimate child, with his father being Zeus and his mother Zeus' mistress Titaness, Leto. When Zeus' wife Hera found out about the pregnancy, she flew into a rage and forbade the mistress Leto to give birth on land and sent the deadly Python to chase her away.
Apollo angered his father Zeus and ended up being sent to Earth and is in the body of a 16 year-old boy named Lester Papadopolous. Zeus punishes Apollo for the role that he played in the battle between the gods in Gaea. Apollo is of course upset about this and is wondering how soon he can get back to god status.
Python became the chthonic enemy of the later Olympian deity Apollo, who slew it and took over Python's former home and oracle. These were the most famous and revered in the ancient Greek and Roman worlds.
