Artemis was the daughter of Zeus and Leto and the fraternal sister of Apollo. She was skilled with the arrow and bow and a Virgin Goddess. She fell in love with the hunter, Orion, but he was killed by a wild boar. She was a goddess of the hunt and of childbirth. It is said she was "thrashed" by Hera as a child and crawled into Zeus' lap to be protected. It is said she later had a daughter with Apollo named, Aradia. Her Roman equivalent is Diana and her Nordic equivalent is Freyja.
