#Artemis

Goddess of the hunt, wilderness and the moon; twin of Apollo.

Raphael's fresco The Parnassus: Apollo seated at centre on Parnassus playing a stringed lyre, surrounded by the nine Muses and the great poets of antiquity, beneath a vaulted sky.

Apollo, God of Light and Prophecy

The newborn who burst his swaddling bands to claim the lyre, the bow and the truth of Zeus, then killed a dragon to found the oracle that spoke for him.

5 minHomeric Hymn 3

Diana the huntress striding through a dark wood, a gold mantle slipping from her shoulders, reaching back to draw a white-fletched arrow from the quiver at her side while a red recurve bow hangs in her lowered hand. A lean white hound courses at her feet, and a lake glimmers through the trees behind her.

Greek

Artemis, the Huntress

The small child who climbed onto her father's knee and asked for a bow, eternal maidenhood and all the mountains in the world, then took them.
