Artemis

Artemis (Greek: nominative Ἄρτεμις, genitive Ἀρτέμιδος), in Olympian Greek mythology the daughter of Zeus and of Leto and the twin sister of Apollo, was one of the most widely venerated gods and manifestly one of the oldest deities (Burkert 1985:149). In later times she was conflated with the Roman goddess Diana. In Etruscan mythology, she took the form of Artume. Deer and cypress are sacred to her.
