Hymn 9 to Artemis
Arrows are the weapons that mark Artemis's divine character and hunting identity.
Muse, sing of Artemis, sister of the Far-shooter, the virgin who delights in arrows, who was fostered with Apollo.
Rigveda
Arrows fashioned from feather, bone, sinew, and iron, addressed directly and sent to strike enemies while granting shelter to the warrior.
where men run together and apart, there may the arrows grant shelter to us.
Where the arrows fly together like boys with unbound hair — there may Brahmaṇaspati grant us shelter, may Aditi grant us shelter, grant us shelter always.
She that is painted red, with the head of the roebuck, and whose mouth is of iron — to this divine arrow, born of the seed of Parjanya, great homage.
