...Artemis plays an important role in Greek Mythology and thus has multiple names given to her. The name Artemis does not have a certain meaning but one theory suggests that it means quail referring to a version of her birth in which her father, Zeus, turned her mother, Leto, into said bird (“Greek Mythology” 129-130). Another theory proposes that Artemis is “she who heals sickness” because of a link between an “adjective meaning ‘safe and sound’” (“Greek Mythology” 129-130). Additional names for Artemis is Diana, her Roman equivalent, and Phoebe which means “the ‘light one’ or ‘bright one’” (Turnbull “The Greek Goddess Artemis”). Despite Artemis having numerous titles and meanings, she is still uniquely known. There are many peculiar Greek...

...Artemis I am Artemis, “goddess of the hunt and of beasts, of childbirth and of chastity” (Daly 18). My mother and father are Zeus and Leto and my twin brother is Apollo, the god of music and healing. My main symbols include a quiver, hunting spears, a torch, a lyre, a crown and a deerskin cape(Atsma). I love nature and spending time outside. Some of my favorite animals are the deer, the bear, and the bore however I think the quail best represents me because it is free-spirited but bold.

I am deeply connected to the palm tree through my birth on the island of Ortygia. I was born one day before Apollo...

...that I have always admired is Artemis, she is brave, kind and self-made, all qualities that I hope to possess. Unlike the other God and Goddesses Artemis preferred solitude in the forest to life on Mount Olympus with the other Gods and Goddesses. The myth that has always so spoke to me is the myth about Artemis and Orion, today known as the consolation in the sky. In the story Artemis has sworn to remain and virgin and never marry, although she never vowed not to fall in love from time to time. Orion was a talented hunter, very handsome and famous young man who one day, during a hunt saw Artemis and the two fell madly in love. During the following weeks the two dined, hunted together but never slept together, as Artemis still held her oath regarding her virginity her scared duty. Apollo, her twin brother, grew fearful that their relationship would soon make her break her oath. Apollo was the god of the sun and would ride through the sky during the day to bring light to the world. From his chariot he was able to see everything happening below on Earth. One day as he was riding through the sky, he looked down and saw Orion swimming in the ocean below and his sister lying on the beach. Troubled by their actions he formed a plan so he drove his chariot to the beach to speak with Artemis. After greeting her, Apollo suggested a contest to test if she was truly skilled with her bow. It was well known that Apollo was the most skilled archer but Artemis had proven herself time and time...

...Achilles’ existential dilemma refers to which way he chose to live his life. The first is to live a glorious but short life as a warrior. The second one is to live a long but inglorious life. Ancient Greeks often believe that the Gods decide everyone’s destiny and fate. Achilles also had a predetermined fate, which is fighting and dying as warrior in the Trojan’s war. However, in reality, Achilles had faced a dilemma before he went on towards his destiny. At the very beginning, Achilles decided to join the Trojans war for the glory that every Greek man desired. However, in Book one of Iliad, Agamemnon, the son of Atreus who started the war, humiliated Achilles by taking his glories of war away. Since then the dilemma had been created. According to the Iliad, Achilles called his mother, “Since, my mother, you bore me to be a man with a short life, therefore Zeus of the loud thunder on Olympus should grant me honor at least. But now he has given me not even a little.”(IL. 1.352-354) It’s a universal fact that the Ancient Greeks took glory more seriously than life. Therefore, it is not surprising that Achilles called his mother to beg Zeus to bring glory to him. It is his desire for glory that brought him to Troy and led him to live a short life. But Agamemnon dishonored him and took away his glory. Achilles got no reasons to stay and fight if there would be no glory for him until Zeus helped the Trojans in order to grant Achilles the glory that he desired to earn. Since the situation...

...Artemis Sportswear Proposal Alyssa Casler, Derrik Carr, John Humphrey, Raven Porter, Tieran Dysart Comm/215 Oct 13, 2014 Rebecca Kinney Artemis Sportswear Proposal When running a business, there are many factors that go into a successful business. Keeping your customers, shareholders, and employees happy will determine if your business fails or succeeds. The biggest part in keeping a business thriving is if it is making money. We could raise prices and leave everything the way it is, but that could lead to a decline in customers. Raising the prices with no inside changes to how the business runs could also scare away investors or lead to less interest in our company. This could also lead to our employees not having very much confidence that we will be around as a stable job opportunity. During the recession, many companies were losing profits and created unnecessary risks in search of growing their profit margins (Mariotti, 2011). This is the basis of the proposal to increase Artemis Sportswear profits without taking unnecessary risks. The four points labor costs, operational costs, marketing, and non-essential costs will guide us in increasing profit margins without taking unnecessary risks. Another point we will discuss is the impact on morale and possible solutions to alleviate the impact on our employees during these changes. Even though, there could be a negative impact on workers and productivity, cutting operational expenses will increase profits and could help...

...Final Research Paper This proposal is designed to assist Artemis Sportswear Company in cutting their operational expenses to increase profit margins, while considering the effect on workers and productivity. Background “In the 1970s, athletic sportswear began to evolve from a product line aimed at small and unique markets into a mainstream fashion product” (Clean Clothes Campaign, 2004). Artemis Sportswear Company has helped transform sport shoes and apparel into a fashion statement. Today the “total worth of the athletic apparel and footwear market is estimated at over 58 billion US dollars” (Clean Clothes Campaign, 2004). Key Problems In recent years Artemis Sportswear Company has been experiencing a decrease in sales due to the current economy. Artemis now wishes to assess operational expenses and find ways to increase profit margins. After assessing their budget we have found that the key problems of this company are wasted labor costs, office supply expenses and employee productivity. Alternative Solutions Labor Cost In order for a company to survive, increase its revenue and reduce its operational costs, it may need to cut down labor. Labor is considered to be the highest cost within many companies. Artemis has a lot of pressure on its shoulders to cut down the operational costs. As a business, Artemis can cut down the operational costs by down-sizing the labor force so the company can compete with other sportswear companies. There are two ways a company can...
