English Original
Actaeon was a passionate hunter who roamed the woods daily. The goddess Artemis, when weary from the hunt, would often bathe in a secluded mountain spring.
One afternoon, exhausted from his pursuits and searching for water, Actaeon stumbled upon the very spring where Artemis was bathing. He was shocked to discover the goddess.
Enraged and beyond appeasement, Artemis splashed water into the hunter's face. The moment the droplets touched him, Actaeon was transformed into a stag. At that instant, he heard the barking of his own pack of fifty hunting dogs approaching. Seized with terror, he immediately fled. The dogs, driven into a frenzy by the goddess, pursued him relentlessly.
Actaeon ran as fast as he could but was soon out of breath, certain of his impending death. He collapsed to the ground, making no further effort to rise. The dogs closed in on their former master and tore him to pieces.

阿克特翁是一位狂热的猎人，每日在森林中游猎。女神阿尔忒弥斯在狩猎疲惫后，常在一处幽静的山泉中沐浴。
一天下午，阿克特翁奔波劳累，四处寻水，偶然闯入了阿尔忒弥斯正在沐浴的泉边。他震惊地发现了女神。
女神勃然大怒，无法平息。她将水泼到猎人脸上。水滴落下的瞬间，阿克特翁变成了一头雄鹿。就在这时，他听到了自己那五十头猎犬的吠叫声，它们正朝他奔来。他惊恐万分，立刻逃跑。被女神逼疯的猎犬对他紧追不舍。
阿克特翁拼命狂奔，但很快就上气不接下气，确信自己必死无疑。他瘫倒在地，不再试图起身。猎犬们围上了从前的主人，将他撕成了碎片。
