In greek mythology, artemis is the daughter of zeus and leto.
Her appearance did not change much, but her story changed across time and space. Along with apollo, artemis was known to be the bringer of disease and sudden death with the two gods targeting men and women, respectively. She represented virginity and chastity, along with more natural elements like the environment, the hunt, and the moon. In greek mythology, these greek goddesses frequently interact with mankind, sometimes benevolently, but often ruthlessly.
