This insolent remark enraged Artemis who then stopped the winds from blowing, preventing Agamemnon and his men from sailing to Troy to fight in the war. One of the men, a seer, told Agamemnon that the only way to receive forgiveness from Artemis was to sacrifice his own daughter, Iphigenia. Agamemnon agreed to the plan. It is rumored by many, however, that in a rare moment Artemis spared her life, sacrificing a deer in her place. Artemis then sent the girl back to Tauris to become her priestess where she spent several years sacrificing numerous offenders at the altar in the name of Artemis. (Bulfinch).
The death of Orion has often been attributed to Artemis. It is believed that Orion had attempted to rape the goddess. Still, Orion's punishment has been slightly debated. Some feel that Artemis simply shot him with one of her arrows, while others believe that Artemis created a scorpion to sting and finally kill Orion. Even Artemis's own nymphs were not safe from harm. Artemis's father, Zeus, was attracted to the nymph Callisto and disguised himself as Artemis in order to seduce her. When Artemis found out that Callisto had become pregnant and by whom, she instantly turned Callisto into a bear and killed her. It is believed that both Callisto and Orion, after dying, ascended into the skies as constellations.
