This website is a response to a Latin IV project in which the goal was to research two mythological characters (a Roman character and its Greek counterpart) and create some sort of presentation to report the information found. There is an emphasize on Greek and Roman differences as well as modern connections.

The Roman goddess known as Diana and her Greek counterpart, Artemis, are the focus of this web page. On this page you will find:
*General Information
*Differences between Roman and Greek
*Artistic Representations (new and old)
*A musical Component

May the Goddess be with you,
Magdalena Ala

"As you are aware, ancient civilization were integrally involved with the gods. As polytheistic societies, Romans and Greeks believed that gods were all knowing and all powerful. Their beliefs were akin to each other, although there were some differences with regard to certain gods and their abilities.

Your task today is to select two gods or, at the very least two mythological characters - a Roman entity and its Greek counterpart. You will investigate each of them so that you can compare and contrast them intelligently. You will research concrete information about the gods as well as perceptions of those gods through the arts and in different time periods. You will need to find symbols that were used for and by each of the characters and offer an explanation as to how these symbols evolved."
