@Nisaa Indeed! I mean, Persephone was a "#Kore" (maiden), but the #PeplosKore was Artemis!
"Additional details visible on the statue support the idea that the Peplos Kore is actually an image of the goddess Artemis. There is a hole in the kore’s right fist, suggesting that she once held an object made of metal. Although the kore’s left forearm is now missing, her posture reveals that she once held it out in front of her, likely grasping another object. The goddess Artemis was known to be an excellent archer, and is sometimes shown holding a bow in her left hand and an arrow in her right, as she is in one statue that is now in Boston. If the kore originally held a metal bow and arrow then her identity as #Artemis would be unquestionable."
