<p>[QUOTE="zumbly, post: 3546049, member: 57495"]Here's a <a href="https://digilib.phil.muni.cz/bitstream/handle/11222.digilib/127199/1_GraecoLatinaBrunensia_18-2013-1_8.pdf?sequence=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://digilib.phil.muni.cz/bitstream/handle/11222.digilib/127199/1_GraecoLatinaBrunensia_18-2013-1_8.pdf?sequence=1" rel="nofollow">link</a> to an interesting article that explores the cult of Artemis-Bendis in Attica as well as Thrace. Mention is made on page 102 of depictions of the goddess on 2nd-3rd century AD votive tablets found in Thrace, including the area around the city of Philippopolis. Quoting the article : "The goddess is iconographically similar to reliefs of Artemis known from the Greek world: she is depicted in a short dress, high boots and fur cap, and is often holding a spear or bow, accompanied by dogs or deer. The content of the inscriptions characterize her as a deity protecting children, <i>kourotrophos</i>, and the monuments are often found together with the Thracian rider dedications."[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
