… She was also the goddess who shot long-range arrows at women, bringing sudden death to them, and when Tantalus' daughter Niobe mocked Leto for having only two children, Artemis, in cooperation with Apollo, shot Niobe's six sons and six daughters to death in honor of her mother. She was also often confused or identified with Hecate, who shared the same function as "nurturer of youth," and with Selēnē, the moon goddess, as Apollo came to be identified with the sun god. The centers of her cult were Brauron in Attica and Ephesus in Asia Minor, and the temple of Artemis at Brauron housed a statue of the goddess, which was said to have been brought back from Tauris in the Crimea by Agamemnon's daughter Iphigenia. … From Endymion…In Greek mythology, a beautiful young shepherd boy from Caria, Asia Minor. The moon goddess Selēnē fell in love with the boy as he slept on Mount Latmos, and granted him eternal sleep so that she could gaze upon his beauty without tiring of it. When the sun set, she descended to earth and spent the night with her lover, who continued to sleep while retaining his youth. Keats' long poem Endymion is famous for entrusting the quest for eternal beauty to this myth. … From Hecate…For this reason, especially in Attica, a three-faced, three-body statue was erected at the crossroads, and at the end of each month, a “Hecate feast” consisting of eggs, dog meat, fish, etc. was offered to her. She is often confused or identified with Selēnē, the moon goddess, and Artemis, who is also the moon goddess and shares the title of “Kourotrophos, the protector of youth” with Hecate.
