Artemis
Olympian wilderness goddess
Artemis is the Greek goddess of the hunt, wilderness, and the moon—twin sister of Apollo, daughter of Zeus.
She is typically depicted with a bow and accompanied by deer or hunting dogs.
The name now appears in NASA's Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the moon.
The temple of Artemis at Ephesus was one of the Seven Wonders.
