⚜️Large Artemis pendant, inspired by the stater “ARKADIA, Stymphalos” 350 BC
Laureate head of the goddess Artemis to the right, wearing a rosette earring and a crescent moon from which five pendants hang, a pearl necklace and with her hair tied in a bun at the back.
Artemis’s head is both elegant and youthful – not at all as hard and tough as seen on other Stymphalian staters.
The pendant has the appearance of a shield scarred by sword blows.
⚜️Goddess Artemis
Artemis is known as the goddess of the hunt and is one of the most revered of all ancient Greek deities.
It is thought that her name, and even the goddess herself, may even be pre-Hellenic.
She was the daughter of Zeus, king of the gods, and the Titan Leto, and had a twin brother, the god Apollo.
Not only was Artemis the goddess of the hunt, she was also known as the goddess of wild animals, the wilderness, childbirth, and virginity.
She was also the protector of young children and was known to bring and relieve diseases in women.
In literature and art, she was depicted as a hunter carrying a bow and arrow.
Artemis was a virgin and attracted the attention and interest of many gods and humans.
However, it was only her hunting companion, Orion, who won her heart.
It is believed that Orion was accidentally killed either by Artemis herself or by Gaia, the primordial goddess of the earth. In one version of the stories of Adonis – who was a late addition to Greek mythology during the Hellenistic period – Artemis sent a wild boar to kill Adonis after he continued to boast that he was a much greater hunter than her.
