Diana of Ephesus 9" statue

Diana of Ephesus 9" statue

Diana of Ephesus is Goddess of the Amazons. Ancient worship focused on the nature goddesses Isis -- Ishtar -- Inanna and called Her Queen of Heaven. By Roman times she is called Diana; yet at Ephesus in Anatolia, Her worship was most profound under the names Mother of Animals.

Many-Breasted Artemis. Columnar and wearing a unique ritual garment adorned with animals, her crown and staring gaze incorporates Astarte, while Her moon disc and horned beasts evoke Diana. Her temple, which was built by Amazons (undoubtedly matrilineal priestesses), was one of the wonders of the ancient world and a goal of devout pilgrimage. In AD 380 her shrine was rededicated to Mary, whose old age and death was placed at Ephesus by Church legend. Note the similarity of posture, palms bestowing blessing, with countless images of Mary.

Sand-colored Gypsumstone statue.

Goddess of the wild beasts and glens, her crescent bow symbolized the moon. In this form she was venerated by the Gauls well into the 7th century CE.

Diana with Wolf 11"

Diana is the Woman Who Runs with Wolves. The wild Moon Goddess Artemis was renamed Diana, "the Queen of Heaven," by the Romans. In Roman towns all over Europe, the chief feminine deity was worshiped by this name. Her wolfhound companion tells us she was also a Goddess of Wild Places. Called The Huntress, she was especially worshiped by women.
