Question

In the Attic calendar, an epithet for this deity names a spring month when cakes made from dough, honey, and sesame seeds were offered; that month is Elaphebolia. It’s not Aphaia (“ah-FAY-ah”), but associations between this deity and Britomartis or Dictynna, the “Lady of the Nets,” possibly come from Minoan beliefs. Brauron and Munichia (“moo-NICK-ee-uh”) were cult centers for this deity, where girls called (15[1])arktoi, or (*) she-bears, (-5[1])served this deity. (10[1])Like her mother, this deity was often identified with either Eileithyia (-5[1])(“ih-lih-THIGH-uh”), the goddess of childbirth, or the moon goddess Selene. Agamemnon tried to sacrifice Iphigenia (10[1])to appease this deity. The nymph Callisto was a follower of this goddess, who, as “mistress of animals,” transformed Actaeon (“ACK-tee-uhn”) into a stag. For 10 points, name this Greek goddess of the hunt. ■END■ (10[1])
