He is also the god who taught man to masturbate and was somewhat of a highly sexual being, seducing many... poor goat.

Artemis

Artemis is the goddess of the hunt, the animals, and the wilderness. The deer and the cypress tree are sacred to her. At least that's what wikipedia told me! I wanted to do Diana before I realized she was a Roman Goddess, so I chose her Greek equivalent. Sorry I'm a day late! Goddesses don't need to be on time anyway.

Persephone



In Greek mythology, Persephone is the daughter of Zeus and the harvest-goddess Demeter, and queen of the underworld; she was abducted by Hades, the god-king of the underworld. Got lazy on the bottom half lol.
The Harpy- a fierce winged spirit , known for stealing food from King Phineas. Sent by an angry Zeus after Phineas revealed secrets plans of the Gods. Some harpies are scary looking hags, but i chose to make them beautiful as their origin describes them.
(p.s. I got lazy and didn't finish the wings)
