virgin goddess
Unmarried divine female
A virgin goddess is a deity in mythology who remains perpetually chaste and unmarried, retaining autonomy over her own body and domain.
In Greek mythology, the most prominent examples are Artemis, Athena, and Hestia, goddesses whose power was understood to derive partly from their sexual independence.
The term emphasizes not merely abstinence but sovereignty—these goddesses answer to no husband or consort.
Artemis was a virgin goddess who punished those who violated her sacred spaces.
