Artemis, the Protector of Women and Children and the Greek Goddess of the Hunt
Artemis is one of the principle Goddesses of Greek Mythology. She was the daughter of the God Zeus and Leto. She was chief hunter to the Gods and Goddesses. Goddess of hunting, and wild animals, especially bears. Artemis was also the Goddess of childbirth, of nature, and of the harvest. As the Moon Goddess, she was sometimes identified with the Goddess Selene and Hectate. Artemis was a Virgin Huntress; the Greeks called her the Huntress of Souls. She protected the wild places and animals; to her was known the deep places in Nature where one could rest and regain strength. Violence for itself was abhorrent to her, yet she was swift to deal out punishment to offenders, especially those who threatened or harassed women.
