"[Odysseus compliments the girl Nausikaa :] ‘You are most like Artemis, daughter of sovereign Zeus; you are tall as she is, lovely as she is, you have her air."

"Driving off with her fast-trotting deer over the hills ... fawning beasts whimper in homage and tremble as Artemis passes by."

"Praise Artemis too, the maiden huntress, who wanders on the mountains and through the woods."

"Artemis of the wilderness (agrotera), lady of wild beasts (potnia theron)."

"Staghunter Artemis, on the hills thou dost eagerly hunt with fawnkilling Dionysos."

"All things that feed in the lonely fields, whether the Arabian knows them in his rich forests, or the needy Garamantian and the wandering Sarmatian on his desert plains, whatever the heights of the rough Pyrenees or the Hyrcanian glades conceal, all fear thy bow. If, his offerings paid, thy worshipper takes thy favour with him to the glades, his nets hold the tangled prey, no feet break through his snares; his game is brought in on groaning wains, his hounds have their muzzles red with blood, and all the rustic throng come home in long triumphant line. Lo, Artemis, thou dost hear me: the shrill-tongued hounds have given the sign. I am summoned to the woods to hunt."

"Leto's daughter Artemis, goddess of the wilds."

"And the hunters as they advance will hymn Artemis Agrotera (Goddess of the Hunt); for yonder is a temple to her, and a statue worn smooth with age, and heads of boars and bears; and wild animals sacred to her graze there, fawns and wolves and hares, all tame and without fear of man. After a prayer the hunters continue the hunt."
