My book, Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code takes place in Ireland and Chicago, during the year 2005 or so. The main characters are Artemis, the boy genius, Butler, his special-forces black belt bodyguard, Holly, a three-foot-tall fairy with, yes, magic, a dwarf with a special talent for burrowing underground, due to his species’ special physical attributes that allow them to ingest several kilos of dirt a second, strip it of any beneficial minerals, and eject it forcibly out the back end.

In the book Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox the theme is that lying and crime is not always the best solution to your problems and can lead to serious negative consequences. This is developed in many ways throughout the story. One of the ways is when one of the main characters Artemis's mother gets deathly ill and the only cure is in an animal he had killed years ago. This is shown when Artemis is discussing the antidote for his mother's sickness to his fairy friends Foaly and Holly when they said

Artemis Artemis was born of Leto and Zeus, on the island of Delos, later helping with the delivery of her twin brother, Apollo. Some sources state that her actual birthplace is not Delos, but an island called Ortygia. Although the two islands could be one and the same, it is not clear. In helping with the birth of her brother Artemis fulfilled her role as a goddess of childbirth (which she shares with Eileithyia and Hera). She is the goddess of chastity, the hunt and the moon, too. But I'll get
The Goddess Artemis Those who invated Artemis’s privacy, her goals, or restricted her freedom where paid dearly. When the hunter, Actaeon, accidentally came upon Artemis while she was bathing, she turned him into a stag and then his own hunting dogs attacked him and tore him to pieces. Artemis is the goddess of hunting and the moon. Her Roman name is Diana, and Greek name is Artemis. Artemis’ symbols are a crescent, a stag, and arrows.

Perhaps the simplest constellation of the four original Greek constellations is the Hyades. One of the first mentions of the Hyades is found in Works and Days by Homer, as a seasonal signal to farmers. Farmers were told “... when the... Hyades... begin to set... remember to plough...” (Hesiod 612-613).

She would also send an animal to kill anybody who disturbed, insulted or disobeyed her. Artemis was recognized for hunting with a silver bow and an endless supply of poisonous
The birth of the goddess from the castrated genitals of Uranus is an obvious allegory for how ancient poets viewed the nature of human sexuality. The images the Greek poets used to represent the erotic experience, figured as a type of suffering, a violent and intense aggression, are emphasized in the myth. When I was staring hypnotically at the painting, feeling a bit uncomfortable with Venus’ nudity, but mesmerized at the same time, I started to think of Aphrodite’s dual nature. Hesiod’s poem makes
Through the use of various texts, Artemis, has been shaped as a complex Olympian—often inhabiting spheres of power that seemingly oppose one another. Such contradictions were not inherent to her patrons, but also included the aspects of her personality. The inconsistencies in character are first seen in her birth—where she gains her first patron, childbirth. Yet later on requests to protect her chastity and never marry or have children. This occurs again in her personality which depicts her as very
