Artemis is the goddess of the wilderness, wild animals, and hunting. She is also the goddess of childbirth, and girl children (virgins) until they are married as she had vowed to be a maiden forever.

∙ 13y agoWhen Agamemnon had assembled the Greek fleet at Aulis, Artemis becalmed the sea, preventing the Greeks from sailing for Troy. The seer Kalkhas declared that the goddess was wrathful with Agamemnon and demanded the sacrifice of his eldest daughter Iphigeneia.
In the Iliad, the Trojan hero Aineias was wounded in battle by Diomedes. Apollon lifted him up from the conflict and brought him to his temple where Artemis and Leto tended his wounds.
After the death of Patroklos, Akhilleus' returned to the war, and Zeus again allowed the gods to return to Troy in support of their favourites. The divine factions then broke out into open conflict: Artemis stood against Hera and was beaten by the goddess.

∙ 11y agoI don't think you want to go in that direction. If you think about it, Artemis is the only example of a young woman in the Greek pantheon - Hera is married, Aphrodite is not a virgin, Hestia is Hestia and Athena is not a good example of femininity. So in this case Homer is not thinking of Artemis as the goddess of hunting, but simply as a young, pure woman who plays with her friends - just what Nausicaa is doing, playing ball with her friends and servants.
Furthermore, remember that Nausicaa is not looking for a husband. The idea has been suggested to her in a dream - WITH THE PURPOSE of helping out Odysseus, not her. Athena knows that Nausicaa will not marry Odysseus; but the dream pushes Nausicaa to see naked, starved Odysseus as an opportunity and not a threat, and therefore she helps him out.
Also, Nausicaa is the only true example of a perfect Greek woman in the poem - for your essay, I suggest you compare Nausicaa to the other prominent women and see what singles her out.
