Called Diana in Roman mythology, she was daughter
of Zeus and Leto, and twin sister of Apollo. As a virgin huntress,
she often wore a tucked-up gown and carried a bow and a quiver of arrows.
She was the goddess of chastity and of birth, and she had the power of inflicting
or healing sickness. It is said that she had assisted her mother Leto
with the delivery of Apollo only a few moments after her own birth, and that she
created an averse wind to detain Agamemnon and the Grecian army because he had
killed a hare which was big with young. She was sometimes identified with
the goddess of the moon, or with Hecate, goddess of the moon, earth , and underground
realm of the dead.
