== Introduction == | |||
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. | |||
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. | |||
== Worship == | |||
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. | |||
