Artemis (Diana)

In more traditional etymology within Ancient Greek, the name has been related to "ἀρτεμής" (artemes), "safe", or "ἄρταμος" (artamos) "a butcher".

Any type may be pagan, you can not judge a person rightly by appearances alone.

In Greek mythology, Orion and Artemis met when Orion tried to pursue her romantically. Some stories suggest that Artemis eventually grew fond of Orion, but he was eventually killed, either by a scorpion sent by Gaia or by Artemis herself, depending on the version of the myth.

No. Diana was the Roman goddess of hunting. Artemis was the Greek goddess of hunting.

Diana is the virgin goddess of wild and the hunt.

Artemis punished Actaeon by turning him into a stag because he spied on the goddess while she and her nymphs were bathing. He was then torn up by his own hounds.

The Spartans if I think I know what your asking fought the massive army of Persians in order to stay free from foreign rule.

They did not, however, beat them

The Roman goddess Diana was the mother of no one, since she was a virgin goddess.

All I know is that she has moonlight vision enabling her to see clearly in the night.

As Artemis protected a mother in childbirth, and a girl child until marriage, preforming a miracle heal - so could she suddenly slay a girl child or those who earned her wrath.

So, yes.

She, with her brother Apollo, and father Zeus, are of the twelve Olympians, it is imagined that when something is happening upon the world, they watch and listen and decide what will happen; granted that they must have some interest in the events.

Diana was a virgin goddess, so she had no husband.

Diana (lt. "heavenly" or "divine") was the goddess of the hunt, being associated with wild animals and woodland (as Artemis was), and also of the moon in Roman mythology.

The goddess Artemis is not depicted wearing a necklace.

As she was a goddess, anything she pleased to.

Leto, when she found she was pregnant with Zeus' children, fled, for she knew the Queen of Heaven (Hera) would soon learn of her husbands cheat, and as Hera could not punish Zeus, she could curse the woman who he'd cheated with. Leto could not give birth to her children on land or sea, and so it is lucky her sister Asteria had fled from the pursuit of Zeus and changed unto a quail and then the island Delos/Ortygia, where Leto had Apollo and Diana (Artemis).

These were the things Artemis asked from her father Zeus on her third birthday.

1. To be a virgin forever.

2. A silver (or gold) bow and arrows forged by the Cyclopes.

3. To be dressed in a short tunic so her legs would be free to run.

4. All the mountains in the world to be her domain.

5. A fleet of 60 nymphs to be her hunting companions.

6. A pack of hounds to hunt with.

The monument was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, only foundations and sculptural fragments of the temple remain. The Temple of Artemis was located at an economically robust region, drawing merchants and travellers from all over Asia Minor. The temple was influenced by many beliefs, and can be seen as a symbol of faith for many different peoples. The site also drew pilgrims, peasants, and artisans. The Ephesians worshiped Cybele, and incorporated many of their beliefs into the worship of Artemis. Artemisian Cybele became quite contrasted from her Roman counterpart, Diana. The cult of Artemis attracted thousands of worshippers from far-off lands.

Born on the isle Ortygia, she and Leto crossed to Delos so Apollo -twin to Artemis - was born (how Artemis became goddess of women in childbirth). They were taken up to Olympus and recognized as 'bright' children of Zeus (Apollo for the sun, Artemis for the moon), they then hunted and killed many of the people who had slighted their mother Leto as she traveled while pregnant, Apollo killing the males and Artemis the females; and the monster Python was also slain. Delphi, where Python guarded, was sacred to Gaia, and so Apollo became god of the prophesy. Artemis had Zeus vow not to marry her (and perhaps Apollo as well, for he never married for all that he had children both divine and mortal), Artemis was free to chose to be virgin forever - but she alone protected that virginity. So she was the protector of girl children until marriage, and their healer as well as the striker of death and illness among women.

Agamemnon gathered the reluctant Greek forces to sail for Troy. Preparing to depart from Aulis, which was a port in Boeotia, Agamemnon's army incurred the wrath of the goddess Artemis. There are several reasons throughout myth for such wrath: in Aeschylus' play Agamemnon, Artemis is angry for the young men who will die at Troy, whereas in Sophocles' Electra, Agamemnon has slain an animal sacred to Artemis, and subsequently boasted that he was Artemis's equal in hunting. Misfortunes, including a plague and a lack of wind, prevented the army from sailing.

Finally, the prophet Calchas announced that the wrath of the goddess could only be propitiated by the sacrifice of Agamemnon's daughter Iphigenia. Classical dramatizations differ on how willing either father or daughter were to this fate, some include such trickery as claiming she was to be married to Achilles, but Agamemnon did eventually sacrifice Iphigenia. Her death appeased Artemis, and the Greek army set out for Troy. Several alternatives to the human sacrifice have been presented in Greek mythology. Other sources, such as Iphigenia at Aulis, claim that Agamemnon was prepared to kill his daughter, but that Artemis accepted a deer in her place, and whisked her away to Taurus in Crimea. Hesiod said she became the goddess Hecate.

The people who claimed to be citizens of Rome worshiped Diana among many gods and goddesses.
