Artemis has traditionally been described as the goddess of the hunt, as a potnia theron, as a moon and warrior goddess, and as a fertility goddess.
The GreatGoddess of Ephesus and the goddess for whom young girls danced at Brauron aredistinctive, but all these divine personalities are called Artemis.
Artemis’ characters were varied, which adds complications to identifying sanctuaries of Artemis with the emphasis on her role as fertility goddess. This paper will combine the literary evidence and the archaeological finds from the sanctuary of Artemis Orthia at Spartato provide a reconstruction of the different aspects of this Artemis cult.
