Artemis is the Greek Goddess of the Hunt. She is often depicted carrying her silver bow, crafted by the Cyclopes, and arrows carried in a quiver.
Artemis and her twin-brother Apollo are the children of almighty Zeus. Their mother, Leto, gave birth to Artemis and Apollo on the 'floating island' of Delos, as Zeus' wife Hera had banned Leto from giving birth on solid earth.
