3. Stick with Your Family – the Story of Artemis
Legend has it that Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt, and her brother Apollo went to great lengths to defend their family’s honor. A mortal woman, Niobe, was heard bragging about how she had given birth to more children, and therefore had more honor, than Artemis’ mother, the goddess Leto. Artemis and Apollo would not tolerate someone insulting their mother, so they went to extreme measures (they murdered Niobe’s offspring) to defend their mother’s reputation and make sure that people everywhere would respect their familial honor. While violence is never the answer, the underlying idea of defending your family and sticking by your family members’ side no matter what is an important lesson to teach your loved ones today.
