Diana the huntress
Diana was the perpetually virginal huntress 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 for her strength, athletic
grace, beauty and hunting skill.
