Artemis is the daughter of Zeus and Leto, and the twin sister of Apollo. She was born in the island Delos and her symbols included a bow and arrow, a quiver and hunting knives and the deer and the cypress were sacred to her.

Customarily, in Greek culture, Hestia received the first offering at every sacrifice in the household.

The myth of her abduction represents her function as the personification of vegetation, which shoots forth in spring and withdraws into the earth after harvest; hence, she is also associated with spring as well as the fertility of vegetation.

Others called her the personification of the sea itself (saltwater). Amphitrite's offspring included seals and dolphins and sea monsters. She was used as a symbolic representation of the calm seas and safe passage through storms. It is said her voice is the only thing that can calm her husband’s mightiest of rages and lull him to a deep slumber so the ocean could be back at peace. Poseidon and Amphitrite had a son, Triton who was a merman, and a daughter, Rhodos.
