A Who's Who of World Mythology : Artio

Artio of Muri was a continental Celtic goddess (or priestess) of prosperity and harvest closely associated with bears. She may also have been a consort of Esus, an agricultural god of the Essuvi Celts. She is known on inscriptions and statuary in Switzerland at Berne (meaning "bears") and is depicted offering fruit to a bear in one bronze figurine. Roman influence has equated her with Artemis, who could change into a bear at will, and with Andarta.
