Best Answer

According to Callimachus:

Sixty daughters of Okeanos (Okeanines)

Twenty Nymphai of Amnisos for handmaidens

By name, we know the name of these core six out of eighty:

Hyale

Krokale

Nephele

Phiale

Psekas

Rhanis

My answer: They are actually just anyone who wants to join. But they need to swear to Lady Artemis that they will ward off men forever. They will be immortal except if they fall in battle. They can be mortals, demigods, or just about anyone.

They are the chaste maidens that have sworn vows to Artemis to stay perfectly chaste and to stay away from men for the rest of their lives.

What are Artemis special quality?

Artemis is one of the only goddesses to resist Aphrodite's enchantments. She is the goddess of the hunt, eternal virgin, and of the childbirth. She has the power to turn anyone into an animal. She has a group of huntresses who are immortal, but they can die in battle. They all have to pledge that they will never trust a man and never loose their virginity. The y all must stay loyal to her wishes and NEVER have intercourse with a man. One story of Artemis I like is where she was bathing in a stream and a man was watching her with woo full eyes. She was furious (remember she is the eternal virgin and doesn't trust men at all) and she turned him into a deer. When her huntresses returned she ordered them to hunt him down (he is a deer now) and kill him. If you have more questions about any god or goddess, just ask and i will do my best to answer your question.
