Agrotera
Agro'tera
(Ἀγροτέρα), the huntress, a surname of Artemis. (Hom. Il. 21.471.) At Agrae on the Ilissus, where she was believed to have first hunted after her arrival from Delos, Artemis Agrotera had a temple with a statue carrying a bow. (Paus. 1.19.7.) Under this name she was also worshipped at Aegeira. (7.26.2.) The name Agrotera is synonymous with Agraea [Agraeus], but Eustathius (ad Il. p. 361) derives it from the town of Agrae. Concerning the worship of Artemis Agrotera at Athens, see Dict. of Ant. s. v. Ἀγροτέρας Δυσία, p. 31. [L.S]
