The goddess Artemis is best known today as a goddess of the hunt and of the new moon, yet to those who worshipped at her ancient temples and sanctuaries she was far more than just that. To them she was a powerful and complex goddess whose influence spread far and wide throughout the ancient world. She was worshipped and celebrated as a goddess of childbirth, women, song, dance and of wild animals. As the daughter of the Titan goddess Leto by the Olympian father-god Zeus, Artemis would prove herself from the moment of her own birth, by assisting her mother with the birth of her own twin brother, Apollo. Zeus, who fathered children with many other goddesses and mortals, had a special affection for Artemis from the start and gave her all the gifts she asked for and more, making her one of the most powerful of the Olympian goddesses. Artemis, Virgin Goddess of the Sun & Moon by Sorita D'Este, explores the myths, powers and worship of this beautiful goddess. It is a throrough study with details of her temples and sanctuaries, the festivals which were held in honour of her, the roles she fulfilled in the myths, animals which were sacred to her, her relationship with her virgin attendants and other deities, as well as the many titles which were bestowed upon her. This groundbreaking book provides the most comprehensive study of this enduring goddess to date.

A useful and extensive guide to Artemis
I enjoyed delving into the myths of Artemis. This is very well researched and the information is conveyed in a well organised manner, allowing the reader to skip between passages easily. I enjoyed the connections made between earlier deities of earlier religions.

Artemis Alive
The book itself is an interesting read and I would like to read more of Sorita's work. Definitely has stars from me but I can also see why some people would find it hard to read (as expected lots of ancient Greek names).

Good read
Very informative and answered all the questions I had on Artemis and some more. Occasionally feels repetitive but other than that it's awesome

Excellent : A Book for all lovers of Greek Myth
You don't have to be a virgin priestess of ancient Greece to appreciate and love this book. If you have a love of ancient culture or the history of greek religion, this book will take a pride of place on your bookshelf.If you are a modern pagan priestess, like I myself am, you will appreciate this book for the rich folklore, mythology and information which it provides on this much loved Greek Goddess of the Hunt and of the Moon.The book brings together a collection of well researched information and mythology in a concise, academic and easy to understand and use format. The illustrations add an extra dimension as they are based on ancient portrayals, but done by a new emerging artist who is working with this author. (Andrews also illustrated the book THE GUISES OF THE MORRIGAN which is by Sorita D'Este with author David Rankine).If you are a pagan who work with the Greek pantheon's Gods and Goddesses you will do well to ensure that you obtain a copy of this book and read it cover to cover. You will find yourself using it time and time again as your love and understanding of this diverse Goddess grows.It explores the relationships of Artemis with the other Greek Gods and Goddesses, her association with a wide variety of animals and other beasts and well as giving precise accounts (with footnotes giving sources) of the various myths in which she played a leading role.Great and highly recommended volume.

Artemis in a Nutshell
For worshipers that wish to go beyond the tripe about Artemis offered in most modern Pagan publishing, this books presents a sound historical perspective on the goddess. She is much more than a goddess of the hunt and a goddess of the moon, and knowing that can allowing for a deeper, more authentic relationship. For true dedicants, or those wishing to become dedicants of Artemis, this book is a must have.

Thorough & Informative
Sorita is one of my favourite modern Pagan authors. I was so pleased to find this book she'd written about Artemis.
