Ancient Greek Festival for Artemis Calliste

Artemis is known for many things. Just to name a few…

One, for being the Patroness of music. Two, for being the virgin daughter of Latona and Zeus, and twin to Apollo. Three, for being a Goddess of the Night carrying with her a bow and arrows. With these, she hunts the monsters of Darkness and brings about the sudden death of all those who are wicked. Four, for having a Temple in Ephesus and that temple being one of the seven wonders of the Ancient World. Pretty impressive isn’t she?
