Beginnings of a blog.

Beginnings

This blog will be on several ideas pertaining to Artemis within ancient Greek religion. While some of the content discussed require less of a focus on a particular deity, where applicable I wish to use Artemis as a way to better get to grips with particular aspects of the topics discussed in the ancient Greek religion module.

I have become interested in studying Artemis due to the multi- faceted nature she possesses. While all of the ancient Greek deities served multiple purposes, the particular interest I find with Artemis is how she was involved in the protection of the wild.

Each topic will express ideas discussed in the module to provide a well-rounded study.

Blog Posts

As highlighted above, there will be several topics of discussion within this page and each will receive its own blog post.

-What Do We Mean When We Say Ancient Greek Religion? *

-Artemis’ Position amongst Other Deities; how does Ancient Greek Polytheism Translate into Modern Study?

-Politics, Greek Religion and Artemis at Patrai

-Olympian and Chthonic Gods: Is Artemis a Chthonic Deity?

-The Mythology of Artemis; the Impact on Greek Society

-Greek Interaction and Representation of the Gods, Sparta and Artemis Orthia

*This posting is utilised solely in the blog, and not within the turnitin online submission. (A combined word count of 4380 words, excluding blog-only post and bibliography)

The finished blog will ultimately span across many topics of ancient Greek religion leading towards a considered series of posts on Artemis.
