What part did Artemis play in the Trojan war?

Artemis had a very small part in the Trojan War. Unlike the other gods, she had no loyalties to either side before the war. However, since her brother Apollo supported the Trojans, she took Troy's side. This won her the wrath of Hera, who already hated the huntress because Zeus favored Artemis more than any of Hera's children. In the Iliad book 21, Hera boxed Artemis' ears with the girl's own hunting bow. Artemis then fled, with many tears running down her face, to her father Zeus. She left her bow and arrows behind her, leaving her mother Leto to gather them up. Artemis also delayed the warrior Agamemnon and his forces from getting to Troy. Right before Agamemnon was supposed to sail to Troy, he shot one of Artemis' sacred stags in a grove and boasted that he was a better hunter than the goddess Artemis herself. In revenge, Artemis commanded the winds to keep blowing Agamemnon's ships back to shore. Agamemnon then asked an oracle or a seer what to do to appease the god that was preventing his arrival to Troy. The oracle or seer told him that the only way to appease Artemis, the goddess he had angered, was to sacrifice his oldest daughter, Iphigenia, to the goddess. Agamemnon tricked his wife Clytemnestra into sending Iphigenia to him by saying that Iphigenia was going to be married to Achilles, the greatest Greek warrior. When Iphigenia arrived, Agamemnon placed her on the sacrificial alter. Some accounts say that Iphigenia was sacrificed to Artemis, but others say that Artemis replaced her with a white deer at the last moment and took her to an island where the goddess made Iphigenia her priestess. Some stories even say that Iphigenia was transformed into Hecate, the goddess of magic and the dark side of the moon.
