Yes, the "art" depicted on Ephesian Artemis idols in the first and second centuries A.D. is completely unlike other Greek art, and it harkens back to an earlier time. We see a link in other places such as Sardis with Artemis and the earlier Cybele. People in "Asia" back then often morphed gods and goddesses. Artemis is called Diana, but instead of carrying a bow and wearing a mini-skirt, as we see Diana depicted in other places, in Ephesus she's got mummified legs covered with animals and carries no bow . Sometimes Nike and Athena are two different goddesses; but then in Athens we find on The Acropolis a temple to Athena Nike, and the two goddesses are one and the same. The challenge for someone studying something like Acts 19 is to discern what the mentality was in a certain city in the first century. And by the first century, it appears that the Ephesian Artemis was not a fertility goddess, but she was a pro-chastity, pro-female goddess associated with assistance in childbirth. The fertility vs. childbearing distinction is an important one. Being fertile-Myrtle is not exactly the same as being a midwife. One is sexually active; the other is not necessarily.   --Sandi Glahn (Not sure why I'm showing up as anonymous here!)
