===Artemis=== Adrasteia, like Nemesis, was also associated with [[Artemis]].<ref>Munn, [https://books.google.com/books?id=8W8lDQAAQBAJ&pg=PA333 p. 333]; Graf, [https://referenceworks.brillonline.com/entries/brill-s-new-pauly/adrastea-e103890?s.num=276&s.rows=100&s.start=200 "Adrastea"]; Farnell, [https://archive.org/details/thecultsofthegre02farnuoft/page/n89 p. 499]; For the association of Nemesis with Artemis see, Farnell, [https://archive.org/details/thecultsofthegre02farnuoft/page/n77 pp. 487–493]; Hornum, [https://books.google.com/books?id=H-l5DwAAQBAJ&pg=PA7 p. 7]. According to Farnell, "We need not look further than [Adrasteia's association with Nemesis] for an explanation of the statement in Harpocration that Demetrius of Scepsis identified Adrasteia with Artemis, and for the presence of the statue of the former in the temple of Artemis Lerto and Apollo at Cirrha, the divinities who brought down due 'nemesis' on the Cirrhaeans." While according to Hasluck, [https://books.google.com/books?id=3AE6AAAAIAAJ&pg=PA220 p. 220 n. 1], "Demetrius of Scepsis' identification of Adrasteia with Artemis only shows the essential identity of the Asiatic, Artemis and the Mother."</ref> The land of the Berecyntians, where a fragment of [[Aeschylus]]' lost play ''Niobe'' locates the cult of Adrasteia, was also the home of Ephesian Artemis.<ref>Munn, [https://books.google.com/books?id=8W8lDQAAQBAJ&pg=PA333 p. 333]; [[Callimachus]], ''Hymn 3, to Artemis'' [https://archive.org/details/callimachuslycop00calluoft/page/80/mode/2up?view=theater 3.242–247].</ref> According to the second-century-BC Greek grammarian [[Demetrius of Scepsis]], a certain Adrastus established Adrasteia as another name for Artemis.<ref>Munn, [https://books.google.com/books?id=8W8lDQAAQBAJ&pg=PA333 p. 333 n. 63]; Graf, [https://referenceworks.brillonline.com/entries/brill-s-new-pauly/adrastea-e103890?s.num=276&s.rows=100&s.start=200 "Adrastea"]; [[Harpocration]], s.v. Ἀδράστειαν.</ref> As noted above [[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]] saw a statue of Adrasteia in a temple of Artemis near [[Delphi]].<ref>Munn, [https://books.google.com/books?id=8W8lDQAAQBAJ&pg=PA333 p. 333 n. 63]; [[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]], [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0525.tlg001.perseus-eng1:10.37.8 10.37.8].</ref>
