She was worshipped and celebrated as a goddess of childbirth, women, song,
dance and of wild animals. As the daughter of the Titan goddess Leto by the
Olympian Father god Zeus, Artemis would prove herself from the moment of
her birth, by assisting in the birth of her own twin brother, Apollo. Zeus,
who fathered children with many other goddesses and mortals, had a special
affection for Artemis from the start and gave her all the gifts she asked
for and more, making her one of the most powerful of the Olympian
goddesses.
