	Artemis (Greek deity)

Note: In Greek religion, the goddess of wild animals, the hunt, and vegetation, and of chastity and childbirth. Artemis was the daughter of Zeus and Leto and the twin sister of Apollo. The worship of Artemis probably flourished in Crete or on the Greek mainland in pre-Hellenic times. Many of Artemis’ local cults, however, preserved traces of other deities, often with Greek names, suggesting that, upon adopting her, the Greeks identified Artemis with nature divinities of their own. The virginal sister of Apollo is very different from the many-breasted Artemis of Ephesus, for example.
