Untamed Artemis
Artemis represents the nature in which she lives free and untamed, shining and wild, tender as a mother, and unyielding as a virgin. Again, here she is represented as a mistress of nature. She is winged, as often in early depictions, and holding in one hand a panther, in the other a deer. [the handle of a krater, known as the Francois Krater, c. 570 B.C., Florence Museo Archaeologico]
