Artemis, Goddess of The Hunt

Paige

I <3 PERCY JACKSON!
Artemis, identified with Diana in Roman Mythology, is the goddess of the hunt, light, sudden death, the wilderness, and much more. I'm doing a Greek Mythology unit at school and we are supposed to choose a Greek Goddess/God/Titan/Titaniss/Monster/Monstress/Hero... you get the point.
Anyhoo, I was going to ask if you could post some really helpful websites about Greek Mythology. I've googled Artemis but the websites weren't really that helpful. I already know a good amount of information about her, but I want to learn AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE! So I'm asking for some informational/educational Mythology sites that were helpful or helped you. Thanks for your time! :p
 
Supposing anyone find this topic by searching (I realize it's a bit old), I would strongly recomend a poem of Theocritus, which pictures a greek witch doing rituals for Artemis/Selene/Hekate , identifying the three Goddesses as a triplice Goddess.

It has the whole description of the ritual, including plants used, enchantments, etc, and even includes hellenistic syncretism, mentioning a certain "syriac" influence for parts of the ritual. All with cute poetry and dramaticism.
