Artemis was in the woods so she could hunt the wild beasts.
Artemis is the resident of the woods...i think
There is no myth of someone chasing Artemis, because Artemis was the goddess of the chase, or the hunt.
Artemis spends most of her time hunting in the forests with her followers.
Any way she pleased; there was hunting, and dancing, and washing in pools.
Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt, was known to hang out in forests and wilderness areas. She was often associated with animals and nature, so these were places where she could be found.
Her Roman name is Diana, but her Greek name is Artemis. She is initially, in both Myths, the Goddess of Nature, but you could also call her the Goddess of Woods, if you want to get into specifics.
Artemis turned Actaeon into a stag because he saw the goddess bathing. He was then torn apart by his own hounds.
She would cause the hunters to get thrown from their horses or to lose their way in the woods and get eaten by wolves. Either way, they wouldn't get out of the woods.
Diana was the Roman goddess of the hunt and the wilderness. Her Greek counterpart was Artemis.
