What is the story of the greek goddess Hestia?
lol. That's really weird 'cause im doing an oral report in my social studies class this Tuesday on Hestia. I found a lot of info on her. She's really interesting. She only has a couple stories that are really weird. Her stories are pretty pathetic though. She was the oldest of Cronus and Rhea. Every kid they had Cronus would swallow each because he believed in a prophecy. The prophecy said that his children would over throw him one day. He didn't want that to happen and it's imposible to kill a god/goddess so he swallowed them. when the last kid (Zeus) was born Rhea didn't want her husband to swallow him so she put a rock inside a blanket and gave that to him instead of her child. Meanwhile, she hid Zeus on some island. Anyway, so when Cronus swallowed the rock it made him vomit the other 5 kids out. Then when Zeus got older he came back and over threw his father, Cronus. That's why she's called Hestia First and Last. Okay, so here's how she got her power or whatever you want to call it. So Apollo and Poseidon (her brother) were fighting for her hand in marrige. She didn't want them to start a war so she decided to stay unmarried. She told this to Zeus and he though she made a wise decision. He was so happy with her choice that he gave her the keys to Olympia. (That's why one of her symbols is keys.) That is why she is the goddess of Hearth and Home. It's because she stays at the house, protects it, and keeps a place for all the gods and goddesses to live. And i was sort of woundering what you were going to wear. I have to pretend to be her and talk about her 4 more then 2 minuets and I have to be dressed up. I don't know what to where. I was thinking like a toga from sheets but i know everyone's going to do that. I know her colors are gold, dark rose, lavender, silver, and black. i was thinking of wearing those colors but idk wat 2 wear.

I'm writing a story and I need to figure out a name for a group of supernatural hunters. What would a good name be?
The hunters of Artemis.The hunters are BOSS, alright? Let me tell you;They’re from greek myth, hence the name Artemis within their title. Artemis is the goddess of the moon and the hunt.Her hunters are the semi-immortal (they can die in battle) women she hunts and fights alongsid. The reason why it's women specifically is because she is an eternal maiden, and prefers to keep around women who won't go for her.Only two noted men were in the hunters of Artemis: One of them was kicked out because he wanted to love Artemis in a non-platonic matter.The other was murdered by Aphrodite (goddess of love) because she was angry over the fact that these two immortal powerful forces refused to fall in love with one another... in other words the guy was the perfect package, hot and smart and stuff and the princess of the world was mad that he wouldn't go for the pretty moon lady.He was later brought back to life by Apollo, Artemis��s twin, though he didn't resume being apart of the hunters because it was unfair. Apollo couldn't just toy with the fates and bring anyone he wanted back to life. Which means males can be apart of the hunters, but it's not common.These women that are within the guidelines of the hunt fight along Artemis and keep their eternal life so long as they remain honorable in the eyes of the olympians and abstain from marriage, dating, etc.They are literally some of the coolest hunters out there, male or female.
