Artemis The Hunting Goddess
Diana was the hunting goddess, associated with wild animals and woodlands. She also later became a moon goddess, supplanting Luna, and was an emblem of chastity. Oak groves were especially sacred to her. She was praised in poetry for her strength, athletic grace, distinct beauty and hunting skill. In practice she made up a trinity with two other Roman deities: Egeria the water nymph, her servant and assistant midwife; and Virbius, the woodland god. In her etymology, "Diana" is simply :"the Goddess", with a Greek parallel in the name — though not the cult practice — of Dione at Dodona. She was goddess of fertility and quick to anger.
Diana was worshipped at a festival on August 13,[1] when King Servius Tullius, himself born a slave, dedicated her shrine on the Aventine Hill in the mid-sixth century BCE. Being placed on the Aventine, and thus outside the pomerium, meant that Diana's cult essentially remained a 'foreign' one, like that of Bacchus; she was never officially 'transferred' to Rome as Juno was after the sack of Veii. It seems that her cult originated in Aricia,[2] where her priest, the Rex Nemorensis remained. There the simple open-air fane was held in common by the Latin tribes,[3] which Rome aspired to weld into a league and direct. Diana of the wood was soon thoroughly Hellenized,[4] "a process which culminated with the appearance of Diana beside Apollo in the first lectisternium at Rome".[5] Diana was regarded with great reverence by lower-class citizens and slaves; slaves could receive asylum in her temples.(i got this informatoin from Wikipedia)
