"#Hermes brought them to the place where rich-crowned #Demeter was staying & checked them before her fragrant temple.
And when Demeter saw them, she rushed forth like a Maenad down some wooded mountain, while #Persephone, when she saw her mother's sweet eyes, leapt down to run to her, and falling upon her neck, embraced her."🏛 440 BCE

#Bendis is a #Thracian goddess of hunting and the moon. Thracian immigrants introduced the goddess into Attica. Some writers identified Bendis with #Artemis, but the temple of Bendis at Piraeus which was near the temple of Artemis, clearly shows that they're distinct goddesses.
