Mount Taygetus
According to the myth, Taygete was pursued by Zeus, and to escape him, she was transformed into a doe by the goddess Artemis.
The mountain was considered sacred to Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, and it was a place where the nymphs, including Taygete, were believed to reside.
Her transformation into a doe by Artemis reflects the mountain’s sacred connection to the goddess of the hunt and the natural world.

The mountain was also connected to the worship of Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, who was often depicted as a protector of wildlife and natural spaces.
Temples and altars dedicated to Artemis were found on the mountain, where hunters and locals would offer sacrifices in her honor.
