Artemis

 

AppleMark

The daughter or Zeus and Leto, Artemis was a mean demi-goddess. Because Zeus favored Artemis more than he favored Apollo, Zeus told her that she could get her own gifts from him. Without saying thank you, she ran off and spoiled herself with many gifts. Artemis never ever thanked Zeus for the silver bow, hunting dogs and the mountains. That was one reason why Artemis was mean. Another time, Artemis found out Niobe was teasing her mom Leto. Niobe claimed she was better because she had more kids. Upset, Artemis killed Niobe without even talking to Niobe or telling her LetoÕs feelings. Therefore, Artemis was a cruel person because of all her nasty deeds.
