En la religión y mitología de la antigua Grecia, Artemis es la diosa de la caza, la naturaleza salvaje, los animales salvajes, las transiciones, la naturaleza, la vegetación, el parto, el cuidado de los niños y la castidad. Se decía a menudo que recorría los bosques y las montañas, acompañada por un séquito de ninfas. La diosa Diana es su equivalente romana.
“Artemis of the wilderness (agrotera), lady of wild beasts (potnia theron).”
“Mistress maiden (despoina nymphê), ruler of the stormy mountains.”
“Artemis with shafts of gold (khryselakatos) loves archery and the slaying of wild beasts in the mountains.”
“Staghunter Artemis, on the hills thou dost eagerly hunt with fawnkilling Dionysos.”
“[Odysseus compliments the girl Nausikaa :] ‘You are most like Artemis, daughter of sovereign Zeus; you are tall as she is, lovely as she is, you have her air.”
“The goddess Artemis had a twin brother, Apollo, the many-faceted god of the Sun. He was her male counterpart: his domain was the city, hers the wilderness; his was the sun, hers the moon; his the domesticated flocks, hers the wild, untamed animals; he was the god of music, she was the inspiration for round dances on the mountains. The goddess Diana is her Roman equivalent.”
