**Artemis**

Artemis is a godess that is versatile and powerful. She is most know for being a goddess of the hunt. But not many know that she is also the goddess wilderness, wild animal (eg. stag), childbirth, virginity and occasionally fertility. She is the twin of Apollo--daughter of Zeus and Leto-- and her name in the Roman world was Diana. Artemis is quite frequently portrayed as a young maiden hunting with a a golden bow and arrow, sometimes accompanied with a stag. She is the epitome of a strong and confidant woman, not easily duped by men and filled with virtue.
