Artemis, Apollo's twin sister, was a virgin goddess, who did not take kindly to being viewed by men. Her rage at being seen by Actaeon is one of the stories told during In the Path of the Gods: Artemis -- The Forces of Nature. She protected the wild, both plants and animals, and was also the goddess invoked in childbirth. The temples where ancient Greeks worshipped Artemis are shown in this film, and include Arcadia, Mount Cithaeron, and Brauron. Sir Peter Ustinov continues his narration of the eight-part series. |
