Britomartis
(redirected from Dicte)

    Also found in: Wikipedia, Hutchinson 0.01 sec.
Britomartis (brĭt`ōmär`tĭs), in ancient religion and mythology, Cretan goddess, sometimes identified with Artemis. To escape the amorous pursuit of Minos, she jumped into the sea, but fishermen caught her in their nets and transported her to Aegina, where she was worshiped as Aphaea. According to another legend, she vanished in a grove sacred to Artemis and was deified as Dictynna.
Britomartis
Cretan nymph; goddess of hunters and fishermen. [Gk. Myth.: Zimmerman, 43]
