Across Greece, beginning in the Classical period (480-323 BCE), a push occurred for a universal Greek identity after the war against Persia unified the region. To organize and support this drive, citizens turned towards the Greek pantheon which was already codified in 700 BCE by Hesiod. Later, his ideas were reinforced through writers and poets. Images started to appear that reflected this, promoting a universalized system of religion relating to the changing political situation to give ancient Greek citizens stability within their vast, shifting world. At the same time, some specific cults sought to maintain their traditions and identity, emphasizing their roots and rituals in the face of this 'universalizing' literary trend. Parallel to these socio-political shifts, imagery of the goddess Artemis divided into two main representations: one as a huntress, and the other as a fertility goddess. These unique representations responded to the desire for a unified Greek identity, one based on pursuing something new, while the other maintained traditions. I pursue a series of case studies to question if there was a conflict of representation between "universal" Artemis, created as a response to the new Greek identity, and "cult" Artemis shaped by the maintenance of traditions within different Artemis cults. I argue that Artemis cults utilized a combination of local imagery and the iconography of the literary deity to promote the cults on a local and pan-Mediterranean level. Drawing on the work of scholars Charles Sanders Peirce, Alfred Gell, and Caroline van Eck, I develop a historically grounded theory of the combination of both geographically specific aspects of the cult and cultural memory used in the process to create distinct iconography that addressed a large Mediterranean audience and made the cults stand out. I focus my examination on the representations of the deity ranging from coins to sculptures, in tandem with the literature and political context of their time period. I assert imagery of Artemis as meaningful in its own right while also recognizing it as a register of broader socio-political experiences in Greece to account for the absence of such an investigation in current scholarship.
