Artemis as undersea huntress.

In doing research for my siren piece and delving into depictions of merpeople in Ancient Greek art, I found an article that briefly mentioned a cult image in Arcadia that depicted Artemis with the lower half of a fish. Needless to say, curiosity took hold. I’m always interested in the different ways in which the Greek gods were represented in various regions, but there was no accompanying image or source for such a bold and unusual claim.

The cult image in question belonged to an ancient sanctuary of the Oceanid Eurynome. The ancient geographer Pausanias wrote about the image (though he had never seen it himself). He said that the people of Phigalia believed Eurynome was an epithet of Artemis, but he states in his writings that there is no probable connection between a fish-tailed goddess and Artemis.

Nevertheless the image of Artemis as an underwater huntress took hold! She wears a fish scale alopekis and has seals as her companions, as they are the dogs of the sea.

Sun God 2019

I digitally painted this to be printed at wall tapestry size so it's full of an almost absurd amount of detail. It's pretty glorious in its full 88x104 inch spread. Maybe I should do another one...I miss this intricate neo-stone age tribal. As of this post you can find it in a few sizes over on Redbubble.
