Artume


Artume was an Etruscan goddess who was the mistress of animals, goddess of human assemblies, and hunting deity of Neolithic origin. She was a daughter of Tinia and Letun, and she had two siblings: A brother called Turms and a brother named Aplu. Her Greek counterpart was Artemis and her Roman counterpart Diana; however, Etruscans later appropriated the Greek goddess Artemis. Aritimi was also considered the founder of the Etruscan town Aritie which is today the Italian town Arezzo.

Artume in popular culture

Artume appeared as a recurring character in Marvel Comics. However, this is not the goddess, but a daughter of Hippolyta in Marvel Comics, similar to how her DC counterpart uses the goddess's Roman name.
