Artemis was the goddess of the hunt, wild animals, wilderness, childbirth and virginity and was the protector of young girls, bringing and relieving disease in women. She could speak to animals. She turned Actaeon into a stag for a transgression and who was then killed by hunting dogs. She sent a wild boar to kill Adonis as punishment for his boast that he was a better hunter than her. She captured a deer (or in another version, she changed herself into a doe) and jumped between the Aloadae, who threw their spears and so mistakenly killed each other. She or Hera or (some accounts say both) turned Callisto into a bear. She snatched Iphigenia from the altar and substituted her with a deer. She turned two sisters, the Meleagrids, into guinea fowls.
