Actaeon
In Greek mythology, Actaeon, or Aktaion was a son of Aristaeus and Autonoe in Boeotia, a hunter who endured the wrath of Artemis.
Artemis was once bathing nude in the woods near Boeotian Orchomenos when the hunter Actaeon stumbled across her. He stopped and stared, amazed at her ravishing beauty. When she saw him, Artemis changed him to a stag, for his unlucky profanation of her virginal mysteries, and set his own hounds to kill him. He was torn apart.
Ovid III, 193, Hyginus, Fabulae, 181.
