Diana of the Ephesians

Diana of the Ephesians


‎Diana was a Roman indigenous goddess. Through contact with the Greeks, the Romans learned of their goddess Artemis and equated her with their traditional goddess, whom they believed to have many of the same attributes. The image shown here is a Roman statue of Diana, a variation of the Ephesian image of Artemis that had supposedly fallen from heaven. The animals pictured on her skirt and arms symbolize her role as ruler of wild beasts.
‎Isa 45:5, Acts 19:24–35, 1 Cor 8:5–6, Gal 4:9
