Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Ἀγροτέρα (agrotera) is Greek for 'huntress'.[3]
The title Kassandra mentions upon approaching the statue, "Mistress of Animals", is a term used by Homer in Iliad referring to Artemis. It was often used of any female divinity associated with animals, however.[4]
