She was a daughter of Tinia and Letun, and she had two siblings: A brother called Turms and a sister named Aplu[2]: 130 . Her Greek counterpart was Artemis and her Roman counterpart Diana[2]: 19,99 ; however, Etruscans later appropriated the Greek goddess Artemis.[3] Aritimi was also considered the founder of the Etruscan town Aritie which is today the Italian town Arezzo.[4]

Artume in popular culture
Artume appeared as a recurring character in Marvel Comics.[5] However, this is not the goddess, but a daughter of Hippolyta in Marvel Comics, similar to how her DC counterpart uses the goddess's Roman name.
