Artemis, in Ancient Greek mythology, is revered as the goddess of the hunt, wilderness, wild animals, the moon, and chastity. The daughter of Zeus and Leto, and twin sister to Apollo, she is often depicted as a huntress carrying a bow and arrows, accompanied by a deer or hunting dogs. Artemis is a virgin goddess, and her mythos emphasizes themes of independence, strength, and a deep connection with nature and the untamed wilderness. She is known for her fierce protection of her purity and the young; this protective aspect extends to all young creatures, reflecting her role as the guardian of childbirth and the natural world. Her Roman equivalent is Diana, who shares similar attributes. Artemis' worship often involved rites of passage for young girls and the celebration of her purity and nurturing qualities. However, she could also be vengeful and swift to punish any transgression against her or the natural world she so deeply cared for, as seen in various myths, including the story of Actaeon. Artemis' character in Greek mythology embodies the paradox of nurturing care and ruthless protection, reflecting the ancients' respect for and fear of the wild and untamed aspects of the world and the divine.

In Modern Greek she is known as " Η θεά Άρτεμις" (The Goddess Artemis)
