In Greek mythology, the goddess of the hunt is Artemis. She is associated with wilderness, animals, and childbirth, embodying both the ferocity of untamed nature and the protective aspects of womanhood. Artemis is often depicted with a bow and arrow, symbolizing her independence and prowess as a hunter. As a virgin goddess, she emphasizes the strength and autonomy of women, and her worship often reflects cultural values surrounding nature, femininity, and the protective role of women in society.
