== Introduction ==


: ''For the battlestar class from ''[[Battlestar Galactica Deadlock]]'', see: [[Artemis (Deadlock)]].''
In Greek mythology, Artemis was the daugter of [[Zeus]] and [[Leto]], and the twin sister of [[Apollo]]. This virgin goddess was worshipped as the goddess of the moon, the hunt, wild animals, healing, the wilderness, chastity, and childbirth.


'''Artemis''' is one of the [[Religion in the Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Lords of Kobol|Lords of Kobol]], worshipped by modern-day Colonials.
Consistent with her roles of goddess of the moon and of the hunt, she is often portrayed in art with a bow and arrows, with the crescent moon above her head.


{{callsign|Starbuck}} prays to the Lords of Kobol while holding figurines of Artemis and [[Aphrodite]], following the "death" of [[Leoben Conoy]] on the ''[[Gemenon Traveller]]''. In doing so, she fulfills her "role" in helping his soul find God, and confirms his statement that she is a worshipper of these two gods {{TRS|Flesh and Bone}}.
==  Worship  ==


A [[temple]] on [[New Caprica]] was dedicated to her {{TRS|Collaborators}}.
The privately pious [[Thrace, Kara | Kara "Starbuck" Thrace]] often prays to Artemis and [[Aphrodite]].  This interest in Artemis seems to be inspired more by the goddess' role as goddess of the hunt rather than goddess of chastity.
