Video Transcript
Actaeon was known as a great hunter.
His talent with the bow was partially inherited from his noble and divine lineage.
The young man was the grandson of the god Apollo, known for his remarkable accuracy.
The tutor of Actaeon was the famous centaur Chiron, who raised him to become a great hunter.
In his hunts with his friends, the boy used to move away often, because he thought his
companions were too noisy, which kept the prey away.
Once, the hunter heard the noise of a spring.
Due to the summer heat, Actaeon sought the source of the sound to quench his thirst.
However, he did not know that the goddess Artemis and her nymphs were bathing in the
spring.
The goddess was known for her virginity and purity, priding herself on never having been
seen naked by any man.
While Artemis bathed in the fountain, the nymphs admired her splendorous beauty.
When Actaeon approached the fountain, he saw the beautiful nymphs refreshing themselves
in the waters.
The hunter hid and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.
However, one of the nymphs saw him and alerted all the others.
The nymphs ran to protect Artemis' nakedness.
It was too late.
Actaeon's eyes shone as he contemplated the perfection of the goddess' body.
Enraged, Artemis punished the young snooper, who dared to desecrate the goddess' body with
his gaze.
The goddess splashed water on Actaeon's face.
In the young man's head, a pair of horns began to grow.
Scared, he ran away.
A dark fur began to grow all over Actaeon's body.
The young man also realized that he could run faster than usual.
He tried to scream for help, but his throat only emitted an animal-like bellow.
Actaeon became a beautiful deer.
But the worst was yet to come.
His desperate howls caught the attention of his hunting friends, who chased him to kill
him.
The hunters released Aktayon's dogs so that they could capture such a magnificent animal.
The young man tried to run as much as possible to get away from his own pack.
One of the best hunters in the world had become the most desired prey.
Exhausted, Actaeon was reached by his dogs, who attacked, suffocated, and tore him apart.
Before his death came, Actaeon saw his friends approaching, saying,
It's such a pity that Actaeon is not here to see this.
This is the most beautiful of all trophies.
