Greek mythology from A to Z:

[A] - Artemis (Ἄρτεμις) is the goddess of the hunt, the moon, and chastity; in time, she also became associated with childbirth and nature.

Nike: *catwalking with fancy Nike shoes* Hermes: *swinging a fancy Hermès handbag* Aphrodite: *flexing fancy Venus jewelry and lingerie* Artemis: What are they doing? Apollo: Olympus Fashion Show.

Some Iliad boys in the woods! My thought behind this is that all of them went out on a trip and realized that Antilochus was not trained for this, because unlike Achilles and Patroclus, he was just a prince and was not set loose on a mountain with a centaur grandpa for several years.

Greek mythology from A to Z:

[C] - Cassandra (Κασσάνδρα) was a daughter of King Priam and of Queen Hecuba of Troy. Apollo provided her with the gift of prophecy, but when Cassandra refused Apollo’s romantic advances, he placed a curse ensuring that nobody would believe her warnings.

Greek mythology from A to Z:

[H] - Hyacinthus (Ὑάκινθος) was a beautiful young man who became the lover of the god Apollo, although he also had the affection of Zephyr, the god of the west wind. During a game of discus, Apollo threw the discus, and Hyacinthus ran after it trying to impress the god. However, he was struck by the discus and died. Apollo, distraught at the youth’s death, forbade Hades to claim his soul; instead, he turned him into the flower of the same name.
