The goddess Artemis is best known today as a goddess of the hunt
and of the new moon, yet to those who worshipped at her ancient
temples and sanctuaries she was far more than just that. To them
she was a powerful and complex goddess whose influence spread far
and wide throughout the ancient world. She was worshipped and
celebrated as a goddess of childbirth, women, song, dance and of
wild animals. As the daughter of the Titan goddess Leto by the
Olympian Fathre god Zeus, Artemis would prove herself from the
moment of her own birth, by assisting her mother with the birth of
her own twin brother, Apollo. Zeus, who fathered children with many
other goddesses and mortals, had a special affection for ARtemis
from the start and gave her all the gifts she asked for and more,
making her one of the most powerful of the Olympian goddesses.
Artemis, Virgin Goddess of the Sun & Moon by Sorita D'Este,
explores the myths, powers and worship of this beautiful goddess.
It is a throrough study with details of her temples and
sanctuaries, the festivals which were held in honour of her, the
roles she fulfilled in the myths, animals which were sacred to her,
her relationship with her virgin attendants and other deities, as
well as the many titles which were bestowed upon her. This
groundbreaking book provides the most comprehensive study of this
enduring goddess to date. ------ About the Author Sorita D'Este is
