Artemis was the daughter of Zeus and Leto, and the twin sister of Apollo. She is the goddess of the wilderness, the hunt, wild animals, virginity, and childbirth. She was often known with the crescent of the moon above her forehead and was sometimes identified with Selene who is the goddess of the moon. Artemis was one of the Olympians and a virgin goddess.

She was armed with a bow and arrows, which is her symbols, while she was hunting.

In one legend, Artemis was born one day before her brother Apollo. Her mother gave birth to her on the island of Delos, then, almost immediately after her birth, she helped her mother give birth to her brother Apollo. This was the beginning of her role as a guardian of young children and a supporter of women in childbirth. Being a goddess of contradictions, she was the protector of women in labor, but it was said that the arrows of Artemis brought them sudden death while giving birth. As was her brother, Apollo, Artemis was a divinity of healing, but also brought and spread diseases.

Artemis with her twin brother, Apollo, killed Niobes' children. They killed Niobes' children because, Niobe had boasted to Leto, which is the mother of the divine twins, that she had a lot more children, which must make her superior to Leto. Apollo being offended at such an insult on his mother, informed Artemis. The twin gods hunted them down and shot them with their bows and arrows, and Apollo killed the male children and Artemis killed the girls.
