The Greek goddess of the hunt, wilderness, moon, and virginity, known for her independence and hunting prowess; equivalent to the Roman Diana.
From Greek 'Artemis,' possibly derived from 'artemes' (safe and sound) or from Anatolian origins. The name appears in Linear B tablets from Mycenaean Greece, indicating ancient roots.
Artemis was the original independent woman—she rejected marriage, demanded eternal virginity, and hunted with a band of female companions, making her radically different from other mythological figures who had to navigate male attention.
