Temple of Artemis - Explore the Temple of Artemis: Dedicated to the goddess Artemis, the protector of hunters, animals, and childbirth, Vravrona holds a special historical importance. According to legend, Artemis, angered by the killing of two young female bears, unleashed a plague on Athens. To appease her, Athenians sent young girls aged 5 to 10 to serve her in her temple, known as arkti (bears). Festivals such as the Vravronia were celebrated here, featuring music, sports, and poetry recitations.
