La diosa Ártemis (Diana en el mundo romano) fue la divinidad griega de la caza y de los parajes agrestes. Hija de Zeus y de Leto, fue la hermana melliza de Apolo y, como él, fue vengativa y justiciera. Diosa virgen, se la considero como protectora de la castidad, virtud que exigia a todas las componentes de su cortejo. Acompañada por su sequito de ninfas y por la jauria de sus hermosos lebreles recorria los montes y florestas de Laconia y Arcadia, haciendo gala de sus habilidades cinegeticas. Por haber ayudado a su madre Leto en el parto de su hermano Apolo, nada mas nacer ella, se la tenia por protectora de las mujeres encinta y de los alumbramientos. Su hermano Apolo se identificaba con el dios Sol y ella con la diosa Luna.En Oriente fue la diosa de la fecundidad y como tal se la veneraba en su famoso templo de la ciudad de Efeso. Los romanos la identificaron con la diosa Diana italica, cuyo principal santuario se encontraba en Capua.Su iconografia sufrio grandes cambios a traves del tiempo y, hasta el periodo clasico no se acuño su bella imagen de diosa cazadora, con jiton corto, con sandalias o ligeros botines, con arco, flechas y carcaj, tal y como prevalecio a partir de la epoca renacentista. Su bella imagen, asi vista, sirvio de fuente de inspiracion para toda suerte de creaciones artisticas: pinturas, esculturas y motivos ornamentales de fuentes y jardines.

Al valorar a un individuo solo por aquello que posee, la sociedad consumista contemporánea se presenta como una caricatura de las descripciones ofrecidas por las diferentes corrientes budistas. El núcleo historico de la coherencia doctrinal budista parte de una constatacion sobre la avidez que caracteriza los actos de los hombres comunes. Los frutos mentales que producen crean mundos insatisfactorios. El proyecto budista consiste en liberar a los seres de este deseo nefasto, de un modo definitivo.
