Artemis is often portrayed with symbols such as a bow and arrow, a quiver, hunting implements, cypress trees and a deer. She became a patron and protector of young girls and was worshipped as a goddess of childbirth and midwifery along with Eileithyia. She was one of the widely cherished and idolized Ancient Greek deities and the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
