Sparta favored her aspects as a goddess who looked out for youth.
The city-state for which Artemis was patron for was Sparta.
The patron goddess of Sparta was Artemis, the Greek goddess of the Hunt.
Yes, of Sparta.
Artemis is the patron goddess of the Hunt. She gives her aid to women in childbirth. She protects maidens and animals. She is the patron of the city Sparta.
Actually, the Spartans worshipped Artemis and Aresthe most. Athena was not their patron goddess. She was the patron of Athens, Sparta's rival.
Artemis' city is often associated with Ephesus in ancient Greece. Ephesus was known for its Temple of Artemis, which was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Artemis was a prominent goddess in Greek mythology, embodying aspects of the hunt, wilderness, and fertility.
Artemis was one of many goddesses and gods of the Greek people, and Sparta was one of the Greek city states.
Sparta actually had 2 patron gods, Artemis Goddess of the hunt, the moon and closely associated with animals. And Ares of course God of war, hatred and mindless violence. Athens's patron (another city-state in Greece) was Athena Goddess of Wisdom and battle strategy.
According to the Callimachus Hymn to Artemis, the goddess Artemis rarely goes to cities. She prefers to stay in the wild and spend her time hunting. The only reason she would visit cities was to help women in childbirth. So it is unlikely that Artemis would have a favorite city. However, she is the patron of Sparta, and Ephesus and a huge temple in her honor.
No quite the opposite; Athena started the Athenians. I'm not for sure but I think Ares was the main deity for Sparta. Ares was the patron god, to help the people in war. Artemis was the patron goddess who was mainly associated with the transformation from childhood to adulthood.
Artemis was certainly known in Sparta, but it is likely no celebration was writen of, those being a part of cults and perhaps a mystery - so forbidden from being discribed.
Diana was the associated with wild animals and woodland, also of the moon in Roman mythology. In literature she was the equivalent of the Greek goddess Artemis, though in cult beliefs she was Italic, not Greek, in origin.
