Birthplace Cynthus

In ancient Greek religion and mythology, Artemis (; Ancient Greek: Ἄρτεμις) is the goddess of hunting, the wilderness, wild animals, transitions, nature, vegetation, childbirth, care of children, and chastity. She was often said to roam the forests and mountains, attended by an entourage of nymphs. The goddess Diana is her Roman equivalent. Artemis was the daughter of Leto and Zeus, and twin sister of Apollo. In most accounts, Hera prevents the land from sheltering Leto for the twins' birth, condemning her to days of labor pains for a liaison with Zeus. Only the island of Delos allows her to give birth to her children.
