Scrolling on tumblr is like a game of hopscotch where if I tap or swipe at the wrong time, I am hijacked into a full-screen ad for Whiteout Survival or some such.

The ever so impressive Artemis of Ephesus.

Fun fact; the original statue was lost, in probably a fire around 2000 years ago. Temple of Artemis was prone to floodings, fires, and was structurally compromised, but wasn't moved because it was built on holy grounds. The original statue was most likely made of wood and did not survive a fire. After that many more statues were made, but these are considered copies. This lady here is a copy too.

Artemis of Ephesus is vastly different from the regular Artemis who is a huntress. This is because Ephesus had It's own goddess deity which was merged with Artemis in time and became a local version that was only worshipped by people of Ephesus. Her symbol is the "bee" and she is also a goddess of fertility unlike the regular Artemis.

And the boob like structures around her torso is less likely to be boobs and more likely to be symbols of fertility for the people of Ephesus: bull testicles or bee eggs. In some other statues these structures are more clearly breasts, for example "the Fountain of Diana" in Sicily.

Her crown symbolizes the city she protects. She has depictions of animals she protects and rules all over her body, along with symbols of fertility and a Zodiac wheel.
