Apollo's twin sister, daughter of Zeus and leto. She was one of the three maiden goddesses of Olympus---
She was the Lady of wild things, Huntsman-in-chief to the gods, an odd office for a woman. Like a good huntsman, she was careful to preserve the young; she was "the protectress of dewy youth" everywhere.
As Phoebus Apollo was the Sun, she was the Moon, called Phoebe and Selene. In her shown most vividly the uncertainty between good and evil which is apparent in every one of the divinities. The cypress was sacred to her; and all wild animals but especially the deer.
