Artemis is a literary, iconographic, and archaeological study of the ancient Greek goddess of the hunt, who presided over the transitions and mediations between the wild and the civilized, youth and maturity, life and death. Beginning with a study of the early origins of Artemis and her cult in the Bronze and Archaic Ages, Budin explores the goddess' persona and her role in the lives of her worshippers. This volume examines her birth and childhood, her place in the divine family, her virginity, and her associations with those places where the wilds become the "cities of just men." The focus then turns to Artemis’ role in the lives of children and women, particularly how she helps them navigate the transition to adulthood and, perhaps too often, death. Budin goes on to reconsider some of the more harrowing aspects of Artemis’ mythology, such as plague and bloodshed, while also examining some of her kinder, oft overlooked associations. Finally, the role of Artemis in the Renaissance and modern society is addressed, from the on-going fascination with the "breasts" on the statue of Artemis of Ephesos to the Artemisian aspects of Katniss Everdeen. Written in an accessible style, Artemis is a crucial resource for students not only of Greek myth, religion and cult, but also those seeking to understand the lives and roles of girls and women in ancient Greece, as this goddess presided over their significant milestones, from maiden to wife to mother.

Artemis

The bestselling author of The Martian returns with an irresistible new near-future thriller—a heist story set on the moon. Jasmine Bashara never signed up to be a hero. She just wanted to get rich. Not crazy, eccentric-billionaire rich, like many of the visitors to her hometown of Artemis, humanity’s first and only lunar colony. Just rich enough to move out of her coffin-sized apartment and eat something better than flavored algae. Rich enough to pay off a debt she’s owed for a long time. So when a chance at a huge score finally comes her way, Jazz can’t say no. Sure, it requires her to graduate from small-time smuggler to full-on criminal mastermind. And it calls for a particular combination of cunning, technical skills, and large explosions—not to mention sheer brazen swagger. But Jazz has never run into a challenge her intellect can’t handle, and she figures she’s got the ‘swagger’ part down. The trouble is, engineering the perfect crime is just the start of Jazz’s problems. Because her little heist is about to land her in the middle of a conspiracy for control of Artemis itself. Trapped between competing forces, pursued by a killer and the law alike, even Jazz has to admit she’s in way over her head. She’ll have to hatch a truly spectacular scheme to have a chance at staying alive and saving her city. Jazz is no hero, but she is a very good criminal. That’ll have to do. Propelled by its heroine’s wisecracking voice, set in a city that’s at once stunningly imagined and intimately familiar, and brimming over with clever problem-solving and heist-y fun, Artemis is another irresistible brew of science, suspense, and humor from #1 bestselling author Andy Weir.

KAN HON RÄDDA CIVILISATIONEN PÅ MÅNEN? Månstaden Artemis är paradiset i rymden – för rika turister och excentriska miljardärer, alltså. För Jazz är det alger till frukost, ölsubstitut på kvällen och en brits under marken. Till den dag hon erbjuds en oemotståndlig summa för att begå det perfekta brottet. Men givetvis är inget så enkelt som det framstår. Jazz upptäcker snart att hon hamnat mitt i en konspiration för kontrollen av hela Artemis – och att hennes enda chans att överleva hänger på en plan som är betydligt mer riskfylld än det brott hon lovat att utföra. ARTEMIS är en fartfylld thriller i en framtidsvision som känns läskigt realistisk. Med Andy Weirs omisskännliga humor blir det ett actiondrama som är lika spännande som underhållande. ”En av årets bästa sci-fi-romaner.” – Booklist ”Den här romanen kommer att bli en hit!” – The Guardian ”Actionspäckad tekno-thriller av högsta klass.” – USA Today ”En påträngande god bok ... djupt och innerligt fängslande.” – Vox ”Ännu en gång utmärker sig Weir som en mästare på detaljer.” – Space.com

Artemis Fowl

De fleste kender Artemis Fowl, men ved de egentlig, hvordan det unge geni begyndte sin kriminelle løbebane? I denne første historie om Artemis hører vi om, hvordan han opdagede feernes underjordiske verden og besluttede sig for at udnytte sin viden til at samle masser af rigdomme. Uden at tøve lagde han sig ud med en hær af bevæbnede og farlige feer, pruttende dværge og ekstremt avanceret teknologi. Vi møder også Butler, Artemis‘ kampsportstrænede livvagt, der viser sig at være en god hjælp under kidnapningen af kaptajn Holly Short fra Nedre Imperiums Sikkerhedspoliti og de efterfølgende kampe. Eoin Colfer er født i 1965 i Irland. Han er uddannet fra Dublin Universitet, men har rejst og arbejdet over det meste af verden, heriblandt Tunesien, Saudi Arabien og Italien. Indtil Colfer udgav Artemis Fowl-serien, arbejdede han som lærer; men lærergerningen blev tilsidesat, da det blev muligt for ham at skrive på fuld tid. Serien omhandler og følger den unge Artemis Fowl: en superintelligent knægt, nedstammende fra en familie af forbrydere og svindlere. Det er dog på samme tid en splittet familie. Artemis' far er forsvundet og hans mor har netop fået et psykisk sammenbrud. Alt sammen efterladende det helt frit for Artemis at udleve sine forbryderiske evner.

The demons planned to lift their small island out of time until they had regrouped and were ready to wage war on the humans once more. However the time spell went wrong, and the island of Hybras was catapulted into Limbo, where it has remained for ten thousand years.
