Explain why Diana chose to change them into lions and not another animal ( The Golden apple story )

Diana chose to change Atalanta and Hippomenes into lions and not any other animals because it resembles their human characteristics.

Explanation:

'The Golden Apple' in Greek mythology is a story of a young maiden named Atalanta, who was swift and desired to remain single as she enjoyed roaming blissfully in the forest. But her beauty and swiftness won her many suitors. To keep her desire of remaining single, she came up with an idea that whoever will beat her in race will win her in marriage, but no one except Hippomenes was able to beat her in the race. Hippomenes was able to over-run Atalanta in race as he asked for help from the goddess of Venus, who gave him three golden apples. But Hippomenes forgot to thank Venus goddess, and in her rage, she requuested goddess Diana to punish them.

So, Diana punished them but taking away their human form and giving them the form of lion. Diana turned Atalanta and Hippomenes into lions and not any other animal because their human character matched with lions character –swift and hunters.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

our founding fathers introduced the revolutionary idea that each person's desire to pursue their idea of happiness was not self-indulgence, but a necessary driver of a prosperous society. they created a government to defend that right for everyone.
