Artemis became assimilated with many divinities over time. Her worship at Ephesos was a result of being identified with Kybele, a connection perhaps facilitated through their shared association with mountains and lions. The Thracian goddess Bendis, who is at times identified with Kybele, is also matched with Artemis. Very common is Artemis’ merging with Moon, and thence with Hekate, as at 'Orphic fragment 356', where Tyche is also added. Artemis’ concern with childbirth and association with Moon also naturally link her with Eileithyia.
