Who was the virgin goddess of the hunt?

Artemis was the virgin goddess of the Hunt. She vowed to be a maiden forever and recruited a group of young girls who also agreed to forever be maidens. In return she granted them immortality but there was one catch: they would live forever if they agreed to stay a maiden but if they died in battle they died. If they broke their vows, Artemis would take vengeance on them. Not only would they lose their immortality, she would often change them into animals or even kill them.
