Artemis-ritual at Brauron (the "Bears of Brauron")
- A description of the sanctuary of Artemis at Brauron, where the little "bears"
romped, is available through Perseus from the Princeton
Encyclopedia of Classical Sites.
- Some of the tantalizing visual clues about the ritual are collected by Prof.
Paula Perlman at her U. of Texas course
web-page. Look at the slides listed at the bottom of the page, especially
the votives and pottery fragments.
