Artemis is the goddess of the hunt, wilderness, childbirth, and virginity. She is revered as a protector of young girls and was known to aid women in childbirth despite her own virgin status. Artemis is often depicted as a huntress carrying a bow and arrow, accompanied by a stag or hunting dogs. She embodies the wildness of nature, the purity of the wilderness, and the sanctity of life's beginnings. Her connection to the moon highlights her as a deity of light in the darkness, guiding and protecting those in her care. Artemis' fierce independence and protective nature make her one of the most respected and multifaceted deities in Olympus.
