Artemis was the Greek virgin goddess of the wilderness, the hunt, and wild animals, and of fertility and childbirth. Her Roman equivalent was Diana and in later times she also was identified with Selene. Artemis was one of the Olympians, daughter of Zeus and Leto and the twin sister of Apollo.  She was armed with a bow and arrows made by Hephaestus and the Cyclopes.  The deer and the cypress were sacred to her. In Anatolia, she was a prominent deity. The great temple built in her honor at Ephesus became one of the "Seven Wonders of the Ancient World."
