In Greek mythology, Artemis was one of the twelve [[Greek Gods|Olympians]]. She was the daughter 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. | |||
