of Greek myth. Katniss also recalls Artemis, goddess of the hunt-Diana to the Romans-because her
preferred weapon is the bow and arrow.
A. Katniss is an entirely new type of character in literature.
B. Katniss defeats the Minotaur and King Minos in ancient Greece.
C. The fact that Katniss is a woman is an intentional choice by the author.
D. Katniss is a time-traveler who has lived in ancient and modern times.
