Artemis Mask

In Greek mythology Artemis is the daughter of
Zeus and Leto and the twin sister of Apollo. In
Roman mythology, she was known as Diana.
She was the virgin moon goddess of the hunt,
wild animals, healing, wilderness, chastity, and,
ironically, childbirth (she was worshipped as a
fertility/childbirth goddess mostly in cities), since
she assisted her mother in the delivery of her
twin. Early in her development, she was
identified with Hecate, the primal, pre-Olympian
feral goddess. She later became more identified
with and eventually supplanted Selene as the
moon goddess to complement her twin's
identification with and supplantation of Helios as
the sun god.
