Diana - the goddess of the hunt
- Details
- Category: Mythology
In Roman mythology, Diana is the goddess of the hunt, wild animals, the moon, and childbirth. She is the Greek equivalent of Artemis, and is often depicted as a huntress with a bow and arrow, accompanied by hounds or a deer. She was also associated with wilderness, chastity, and the protection of women and the lower classes.
- Hunt and wilderness: Diana is the "goddess of the hunt," a protector of forests and wildlife. She is often shown as an expert huntress with a bow and arrows.
- Moon: Like her Greek counterpart Artemis, Diana became associated with the moon, sometimes called the "goddess of the moon".
- Childbirth and fertility: Despite being a virgin goddess, she was also a fertility goddess and was invoked by women for help with conception and delivery.
- Greek equivalent: Her Roman identity was strongly influenced by the earlier Greek goddess Artemis, and they are often used interchangeably in later mythology.
- Family: In later Roman mythology, she is the daughter of Jupiter and Leto, and the twin sister of Apollo.
- Symbols: Her symbols include the bow and quiver, hunting dogs, deer, and the crescent moon.
- Worship: A significant place of her worship was the grove at Lake Nemi, near Rome. Her festival, the Nemoralia, was held on August 13.
