Even if you’ve never studied Greek and Roman mythology, you’ve probably heard of Aphrodite, goddess of love. She’s still a part of pop culture – her son Cupid is pretty popular around Valentine’s Day, and we’ve all seen a print of that famous Aphrodite-on-the-half-shell painting by Botticelli.
But have you heard of Diana (also known as Artemis), goddess of the hunt? She was just as famous as Aphrodite and had a twin brother, Apollo. She was supposed to be young, beautiful and athletic, and she usually carried a bow and arrows.
So if you’d like to be a goddess – but not the same old goddess – why not be Diana? For a fun and creative couple costume – one no one else at the party will have – your significant could dress up as your prey. A stag (deer) would make the point best, but you could also be a wild boar or maybe even a rabbit.
And of course, you won’t have to go into all this explanation. Just lift your chin and say in your best queen-of-the-world voice, “I’m Diana, goddess of the hunt, and this is my prey!”
