Artemis did not consort with or bow to the rule of men.
Artemis-Moon
Goddess
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 harrassed women.
The
Amazonian
Moon
Goddess, she was worshiped at Ephesus, her entire torso
covered with nurturing breasts.
Artemis'
bow
is symbolic of both the crescent Moon as well as of
inner self-esteem, of an exquisitely tuned inner
tension.
Artemis
swore
an oath of the Gods, swore by the beard of her father:
"I
shall always be a virgin and live on summits of
the great Sierras, hunting in the forests: O grant me
this"
Her
father
nodded
in approval. Now Gods and mortals call her
by her thrilling name, the
deer-slaying-hunter, and she is pure of marriage
and erotic love.
Sappho
The Amazons were especially devoted to the Goddess of hunting, Artemis. Granted, Amazons did worship Goddesses associated with hunting and war, but many also appeared to have worshipped other Goddesses as well.
Artemis...Virgin
Huntress,
goddess of wild places and wild things, the Huntress,
Maiden, Bear Goddess, Moon Goddess, Hunter of Souls,
shape-shifter. In Ephesus she was called Dea Anna,
"many-breasted", and was the patroness of nurturing,
fertility, and birth. In Greece she was sculpted
as tall, slim, lovely, and dressed in short tunic.
Her chariot was pulled by silver stags. She roamed
the forests,
mountains,
and
glades with her band of nymphs and hunting dogs.
She acted swiftly and decisively to protect and rescue
those who appealed to her for help and was quick to
punish offenders .
The Amazons(Moon-women), who were loyal to Her, worshipped one aspect of Artemis(the New Moon phase). As Goddess of the Hunt, she carried a silver bow and was accompanied by a stag and her pack of hounds, the Alani. she could bring destruction but was usually benign. The sixth day of the New Moon was hers. Defender of women who were harassed or threatened by men. Acorns and wormwood were sacred to Her.
Patroness of singers, protectress of young girls, mistress of magick, sorcery, enchantment, psychic power, women's fertility, purification, sports, good weather for travelers, woodlands, the hunt, mental healing, wild animals, mountains, woodland medicines, healing.
I sing of Artemis, whose shafts are of gold, who cheers on the hounds, the pure maiden, shooter of stags, who delights in archery.....Over the shadowy hills and windy
peaks she draws her golden bow, rejoicing in the chase, and sends out grievous shafts.....when she is satisfied and has cheered her heart, this huntress who delights in arrows slackens her supple bow and goes to the great house of her dear brother Phoebus Apollo, to the rich land of Delphi, there to order the lovely Muses and Graces.
Homer
The
children
of Zeus and Leto, she and
Apollo
were
born on the
island
of
Delos. Both are associated with the
bow. Apollo is said to use the curved
bow and Artemis uses the silver bow. She is
one of only three who are immune to the enchantments of
Aphrodite. A friend to mortals, she dances
through the countryside in her silver sandals
giving her divine protection to the wild beasts,
particularly the very young. She rides
her silver chariot across the sky and shoots her arrows
of silver Moonlight to the earth below.
