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.
