In ancient Greece, Artemis mainly had the following main clergy. As the goddess of hunting, the bow and arrow is the most important symbol of Al themis. She often has the characteristics of wearing sleeveless skirts with animal skins, such as Orion clothes and animal hats. Surrounded by the goddess' attendants, she went hunting through the jungle. She is the goddess of sacrifice by hunters. Mount Tegaitos and Mount Eremasos in the Peloponnesian Peninsula are her frequent places.
As a midwife, she was in charge of fertility and delivery of newborns, and was one of the gods who sacrificed the most in ancient Greece. Themis, one of the seven wonders of the world, was specially built for her.
As the goddess of the moon, in the ancient hunting era, many hunting activities were carried out at night, and the powerful reproductive ability of women was a symbol of the fertility of the earth. This determines the number of prey around the living environment and the number of hunting results, and this worship of the moon goddess was born.
Every god has his own weapons and sacred objects. Artemis' weapons and sacred objects are deer and bows and arrows. Deer are the only sacred thing in Al themis. Legend has it that when she saw a deer with golden shiny horns like a bull in the forest, she fell in love with a Jinjiao deer and finally captured a Jinjiao deer, which she used as a tool for pulling chariots.
Artemis also had a golden bow and arrow. It is said that this kind of bow and arrow can bring diseases or health to girls.
