More information about Artemis:
Artemis (Latin Diana) is one of the oldest, most complex and most interesting figures of the Greek pantheon.
Daughter of Zeus and Leto, twin sister of Apollo, queen of the mountains and forests, goddess of hunting, protector of young children and animals, and goddess of the moon.
Hestia, Athena and Artemis were the only Goddesses over whom Aphrodite (who had subdued all Gods and humans) had no power.
From the very first hours of her birth Artemis takes initiative.
Although she is a newborn infant, she helps her exhausted mother to deliver her second child, Apollo, and in this way she is identified with Eileithia, from Eleuthos + yios, meaning mammy, and therefore the goddess of childbirth.
Beautiful and brilliant Artemis, had very early on won the esteem of the other gods.
Already from the age of three she had certain requirements, concerning her clothing, her equipment and her following her most favourite pastime, hunting. That is why the deer is its symbol.
One of Artemis’ most basic traits was her universal dominance over nature.
Tame and wild animals, fish in the water and birds in the air were all under her protection.
He was a kid who knew what he wanted and really firm and rigid in his decisions.
Zeus admired her for her perseverance and, because of her wit, he loved her very much and satisfied all her wishes.
One of the first things Artemis asked for as a gift from her father was eternal purity and virginity.
