She was the Hellenic goddess of forests, hills, virginity/fertility, and the hunt and was often depicted as a huntress carrying a bow and arrows. The deer and the cypress were sacred to her. In later, Hellenistic times she even assumed the ancient role of Eileithyia in aiding childbirth.   Artemis was one of the most widely venerated of the gods and one of the oldest (Burkert 1985, 149). Her later association with the moon is a popular idea which has little foundation. She later became identified with Selene, a Titaness who was a Greek moon goddess, and she was sometimes depicted with a crescent moon above her head. She also became identified with the Roman goddess Diana[3] and with the Etruscan goddess Artume.   World Wide Shipment FREE In Registered Mail Insurance Included For 65.00 $ Feel Free To Contact Me For Any Question About This Item, I Will Be Happy To Answer You Good Luck Place a Bid!
