The cult of Artemis was introduced to Cyprus from Greece in the mid-fifth century BCE, and by the Hellenistic period it had found a definite niche among the island’s other cults. While no sanctuary primarily devoted to the Cypriot incarnation of Artemis has, as yet, been discovered, imagery depicting the goddess is often found in combination with votives representing males, such as the Cypriot Apollo, Herakles, Zeus Ammon, Bes, and Pan. Through a careful examination of votive offerings depicting the major deities at the site of Athienou- Malloura, this paper explores the parallels between Artemis and the gods with whom she shares worship space, in order to elucidate their relationship and the proximity of their dedications.
