In many parts of Greece, young women prayed to Artemis to be saved from
unwanted marriages. According to legend, the goddess did so by turning each
girl into a tree, flower or an animal.
The ancient Greeks believed that it was better to be turned into an
enchanted plant or animal than to spend the rest of one’s life with an
undesirable mate.
