What are the powers of Artemis, a greek goddess?

Question

Im doing a report on Artemis, and i cant figure out the powers she has. I tried searching internet, but i keep finding thats that contradict the other websites

Answer 1

Artemis was the patroness of women and girls-- the goddess of health, healing, disease, plague and sudden death--empowered to heal or to hunt down and kill, to keep women and girls in good health, or to bestow the diseases, plagues and ills' to oversee pregnancy, safe delivery and infant nursing, or to cause misery, miscarriage and death of the mother and/or the child.
In addition, Artemis was worshipped for her powers over hunting,fowling, fishing and sailing, the men engaged in those activities and the wild animals--health and success or injury, failure and/or death were in her power.
Artemis was worshipped throughout the Greek Islands, and in Rome as Diana; in Trace (now Bulgaria) as Bendis, in Egypt as Bastet, in Cappadocia as Perasia, and as Tauria in Scythia, and as many other deities worshipped troughout the ancient world.
Please note: Artemis was worshipped as a virgin goddess thus not entirely in charge of fertility; this aspect of womens' health and healing belonged to Egyptian goddess--Isis, for example. Also, Artemis was not in charge of medication and pain relief-- the domain of Eileithyia, thus some aspects of illness, healing, and child delivery were also in the hands of Eileithyia--a goddess borrowed from Creta.
I hope it helps.

Aphrodite was the goddess of love, beauty, and lady of the doves. She was married to Hephaestus but constantly cheated on him for Ares. She had the power to charmspeak (talk you into doing anything) and can change herself to look however is most beautiful to you. Artemis was goddess if the hunt, moon, and is a virgin goddess. The Hunters of Artemis also had to swear of boys when they joined the hunt. Most of the Hunters were around the age of 10-11 because that's before they become "smitten" (when most girls start to notice boys). Artemis was the twin of Apollo, who was the god of the sun, archery, and the oracle of Delphi. Artemis and Apollo are know as the twin archers for obvious reasons. Hope this helps!

Answer 5

Artemis can actually be considered as a sex symbol. She's gorgeous and can represent the moon, which means She can represent the triple goddess as Maiden, Mother, and Crone. She doesn't necessarily have to be a pure virginal goddess. But I don't know exactly what information you're looking for. Do you need symbols for them or stories about them or what?

Answer 6

Really not sure about powers, but she was the goddess that represented youth, the moon, and the hunt. She was really vengeful, as seen in the Odyssey when I believe was Agamemnon sacrificed his daughter for safe travel to Troy, Artemis smote him. Other than that, I know that she was a master of the bow and arrow. That's all I know. Hope that helps.

Answer 7

Artemis is the Force of Life over Death.

Answer 8

I know she is the maiden huntress and the goddess of the moon. As far as powers go, I think she is good with a bow and arrow and very fast. She is associated with silver while her brother is associated with gold.
