The Daughters of Artemis were a tribal society of female warriors who worshipped Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt and Moon.
The Daughters of Artemis saw themselves as protectors of the land's flora and fauna and made use of animals like bears and wolves to protect it. They were also skillful archers.[1]
Description
The Daughters of Artemis favored hunting camps set deep in the woods or near places sacred to Artemis. Occasionally, these camps became larger settlements, most notable being their original home of Huntress Village on the island of Chios, and the village of Lamia in Malis.[1]
The emblem of the Daughters of Artemis was a stylized figure of a woman drawing a bow, presumably a depiction of Artemis. They wore furs and animal skins, and had often painted red markings on their skin.[1]
To the Daughters of Artemis, the Hind of Keryneia was a sacred creature.[2]
History

The winner would be the leader of the Daughters, until another challenger arose.[4]
