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.
