the story of artemis and acti untold the misfortune of a certain hunter named act
e'en for not knowing what he did he came to be punished and suffered to be hunted
just as he had hunted the hunter became the hunted act Ian was one of the quite
many figures in Greek mythology who met a tragic hint he was the son of the
herdsmen heiress to us and lady otoño and was the grandson of Cadmus the
legendary king of Thebes act e'en resided in the region of Bowie Ischia
and like many of the Greek heroes he was trained by the centre Chiron to be a
skilled hunter at Tian's own death is what made him famous as the myths say it
was not any crime of his the cause of his death but mere misfortune act e'en
knew nothing about the secret cave of atomists in the Vale of Gaga fear that
explains why he came wandering close to the area with his dogs after a day of
hunt he unwittingly ventured into the cave just when the chaste goddess of the
world woods was preparing to bathe in the waters of the spring together with
the nymphs who attended to her amazed by her ravishing beauty Actium stood and
watched long enough to be spotted by the nymphs the nymphs screamed in surprise
and circled artemis attempting to cover her body with their own but artemis
standing head and shoulders over the rest took up the water and flung it into
act Ian's face saying now you are free to tell that you have seen me all
unroped that is if you can tell just as the goddess had uttered those words act
e'en began to turn into a deer and when the transformation was
completed the goddess further planted fear within his heart as the dirac Tian
fled away in a bid to get to safety his dogs went after him pursuing him in all
grounds around mounts the run between burrow shear and Ithaca and at last when
having finally caught him the dogs buried their fangs all over his body
until he had been torn to pieces that was the end of Acton in a slightly
different version Artemis cursed acti and that if he spoke
a word to anyone he would change into a deer however when the hunter heard his
hunting dogs howl in the distance he forgot the words of the goddess and
called to them and so he immediately transformed into a deer he started
running into the woods to escape his dogs but the well-trained dogs found him
and tore him to pieces no sooner had the dogs unknowingly
killed their master they roamed the woods seeking Him and howling in grief
still searching for him they came to the cave of the central Chiron who made an
image of the unfortunate Actium to soothe their grief because of this
punishment some people deemed artemis the chaste goddess of the hunt and wild
to be cruel and inconsiderate but others judged her act worthy of her chastity
there are few accounts which say that artemis did not turn at thien into a
deer solely because he saw her naked these accounts claim that act e'en have
disrespected the goddess before the bathing incident one of them told that
act en was an arrogant fellow who presented himself as a better hunter and
superior to artemis thus his boast was the reason behind his unfortunate fate
the second account said that Actium came into the cave and tried to seduce the
goddess who in her anger made horns grow on his head turning him into a stack
still a third version said that Actium dedicated the fruits of his hunting to
artemis and purposed to marry her right in the temple of the goddess and last
account said that what happened to act Ian was masterminded by his use because
act Ian loved Simone the mother of Dionysus had the order of Zeus Artemis
then cast a deerskin round acti and to make sure that his dogs would kill him
so as to prevent him to marry some al nevertheless and whichever the case may
be act Ian's death was much lamented by his parents his father Arastoo s
migrated to Sardinia while his mother rotten who was said to have left Thebes
to live near Megara because of her grief at the death of her son
