Artemis was also part of the Trojan War

In the Iliad of Homer, the Trojan War was also somewhat influenced by Artemis. As "the archer goddess," she participated in the conflict in a modest way. When Aeneas was hurt by Diomedes during the battle, she backed the Trojans and treated him.

When Artemis punished Agamemnon during the Trojan War, it was a significant moment for her as a participant in the conflict. One of her sacred animals had been murdered by Agamemnon. Additionally, he bragged about being a better hunter than the Goddess.

When the war was about to start, Artemis became enraged over these events and calmed the wind. Agamemnon was instructed by the seer Calchas to sacrifice his daughter Iphigenia in order to please Artemis.

As a result, Agamemnon sacrificed his daughter, but Artemis felt sorry for Iphigenia. Iphigenia was swapped out for a deer as a sacrifice by Artemis. At her sanctuary in Tauris, she appointed Iphigenia as a priestess.
