Artemis
ARTEMIS is one of the great divinities of the Greeks. Her name is usually derived from Greek: Artemis, uninjured, healthy, vigorous ; according to which she would be the goddess who is herself inviolate and vigorous, and also grants strength and health to others. (Plat. Cratyl. p. 406, b.; Stab. xiv. p. 635 ; Eustath. ad Horn. pp. 32, 577, 1732.) According to the Homeric account and Hesiod (Theog. 918) she was the daughter of Zeus and Leto, whence Aeschylus (Sept. 148) calls her Litogenia. She was the sister of Apollo, and born with him at the same time in the island of Delos.
