Please improve wording when mentioning Siproites
I can see why it was written like that, but it's unclear who's doing the hunting with the current wording. Also might want add the alternative translation "Sypretes". A couple of sources/translations:

Antoninus Liberalis, cited by Francis Celoria. The Metamorphoses of Antoninus Liberalis: A Translation with Commentary, pp.71.

Orion: The Myth of the Hunter and the Huntress, pp.125-126. University of California Press

 * We are already using Celoria's translation (the online version at Topostext), and I've now added Fontenrose as a secondary source there. I presume it was Artemis that was doing the hunting (though Antoninus Liberalis' passage doesn't actually make that clear), and the article states that he accidentally sees Artemis bathing while she was hunting, which I think is clear enough in terms of who was hunting. That sentence could do with rephrasing, though. As to "Sypretes", that would require a source. – Michael Aurel (talk) 21:14, 31 January 2022 (UTC)


 * has given Siproites their own article. I have edited our treatment of the story in this article per our discussion at Talk:Siproites. – Michael Aurel (talk) 08:43, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

I would like to add an image of Artemis, Greek Goddess of the Wilderness, Wild Animals and the Moon as seen in contemporary Art. Randomactofflower (talk) 07:05, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the template. This does not look to be a particularly good representation. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 16:29, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't think the image is particularly useful here. Paul August &#9742; 17:16, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Agreed with above. No particular reason to include this image. --Macrakis (talk) 17:43, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Please fix the wrong word in the third paragraph.
In the third paragraph, please change "having laid" to "having lain".

Thank you. WhiteMarlin (talk) 02:29, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Adding on more art
Greek art is important, could we try to add more to appeal to the audience of younger kids? ScheelDiverts (talk) 16:05, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Modern Art (paragraph title)
The title is somewhat erroneous. It could simply be changed to "in art" or "influence in arts"...ect

e content of paragraph is very good. re Renaissance art and Modern art the same?

Modern art: It is mentioned in this wikipedia article (with references), how 'Modern Art' start approximately in 1860.

Renaissance Art Here, 1620 is the date given for the end of the 'renaissance'.

Both articles contain reference for the given dates. 94.252.107.93 (talk) 11:48, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Moon goddess
The article makes the claim that Artemis was never seen by the Greeks as a moon goddess, and this does seem to be a widely understood fact. I am trying to understand, then, why we have Euripides, in Iphigenia at Aulis, referring to Artemis as "you that spin the silver light at night" or "goddess who lets her brilliant light roll along through the gloomy darkness of the night." What is Euripides referring to if not a lunar aspect for Artemis? I understand that Euripides belonged to later Greek antiquity, but he is certainly Greek, which belies the article's statement that "no records have been found of the Greeks referring to Artemis as a lunar deity."

Addition of story-like text to the article
An IP user 204.210.183.186 seems to be adding story-like additions to the Childhood section of the article. Isn't this against encyclopaedic tone of Wikipedia? i2n 2z  06:46, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
