Your phone comes out fifty times a day. It should say something about what you love.
This is Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt, standing on a mountain outcrop above the treeline at dawn. Her bow is slung, her quiver is full, and two Laconian hunting hounds sit beside her on the rock. She has climbed here alone. A crescent moon hangs in the sky above her as the first light hits the peaks.
The Homeric Hymn to Artemis calls her "the arrow-pouring goddess" who roams the mountains and shady groves. Callimachus records that as a child, she asked Zeus for eternal virginity, a bow, a pack of hounds, and all the mountains in the world. He gave her everything she asked for.
