2. For this purpose it may be assumed, that the Artemis connected with Apollo belongs alone to the same system of religious notions: and consequently, the Artemis of Ephesus, Artemis Orthia, and Artemis Tauropolus, are of a different nature, as Apollo is never represented as their brother: of this, however, more hereafter. Here we will first show, that in all the chief temples of Apollo, Artemis was worshipped as his sister, as the partner of his nature and of his actions, and, as it were, a part of the same deity. Thus both were children of Latona, and were equally the rulers of the temple of Delphi;(1515) the victory over the Python, the flight, and the expiation, concern both;(1516) both were honoured at the Pythian games of Sicyon, together with Latona;(1517) as also in Crete,(1518) Delos, Lesbos,(1519) at Carthæa,(1520) in the Didymæum,(1521) on the citadel of Troy,(1522) in the worship of Lycia,(1523) as well as in that of Metapontum.(1524) The worship both of Apollo and Artemis is said to have been derived from the Hyperboreans;(1525) and the names of the Hyperborean priestesses, who brought the rites to Delos, _Arge_ and _Opis_, according to others _Hecaerge_ and _Loxo_, are only epithets of Artemis. Arge probably means “the rapid;” Opis(1526) (Ὦπις, _Ionice_ Οὖπις, the same as ὄπις) well characterises the spirit of this religion, as it signifies the constant watch and care of the goddess over human actions,(1527) while at the same time she inspires fear and veneration of herself.(1528) She was known also by the same name among the Dorians of Sparta,(1529) and celebrated as such in sacred chants:(1530) thus almost all the attributes and actions of Apollo are referred also to Artemis. She is also the goddess of sudden death;(1531) which she sometimes inflicts in wrath, but sometimes without anger;(1532) and hence she is represented as armed, not only with bow and arrows, but in the Doric states with a complete panoply.(1533) In ancient poets she is not only the destroyer of wild beasts, but also, like her brother, of sacrilegious men.(1534) Thus, with Apollo, she killed Tityus, and, by herself, the Aloidæ,(1535) and Orion, who dared to violate Opis when bringing the ears of corn to Delos.(1536) Hence she was to be appeased by expiatory rites; and had an equal share in Thargelia, and similar festivals.(1537) And for the same reason the laurel was likewise sacred to Artemis.(1538) She was honoured with the song of the pæan.(1539) She is at the same time the destroyer and the preserver (λυκεία(1540) and οὐλία).(1541) And even her name Ἄρτεμις(1542) clearly corresponds with that of the protecting Apollo, since it signifies the “healthy,” the “uninjured.”(1543) Whether the art of music belonged to Apollo alone is not certain; at least the Lacedæmonians celebrated in honour of Artemis a musical contest called καλαϝοιδία;(1544) and her singing is represented in the Iliad as delighting both gods and men.(1545) On reliefs which
