Nah, the exactly same picture on the website https://darkestheart666.wordpress.com/ claims that it is Bendis. Bendis ~ Thracian Moon Goddess ~
"The goddess Bendis is corresponding to Artemis, in the Greek mythology, or Diana, in the Roman mythology. Therefore, Bendis is a goddess of the moon, of the forest. Herodotus wrote that this goddess is adored by the Thracian women, being borrowed from the populations at the north, who can only be the Dacians.
The cult of this goddess was confirmed by the archeological discoveries (a head of bronze found at Costesti, a medallion of clay, discovered at Sarmizegetusa, and a bronze bust from Piatra Rosie).
Her cult survived during the period of Roman occupation, in the form of Roman godess Diana. The name of Diana can be traced in the Romanian words zana, sanziana (Sancta Diana) or cosanziana (Quo Sancta Diana)." - https://darkestheart666.wordpress.com/2014/05/26/bendis-thracian-moon-goddess/
Hmm hmm than who is right?
"If you ask ChatGPT a question that is based on a factually incorrect premise, more often than not the chatbot will completely fail to recognize that the premise of the question is incorrect and will assume that all the information you have given it is true. This assumption, in turn, will often lead the chatbot to churn out even more false information. For instance, I asked ChatGPT the following question in which I deliberately misattribute a quote to the ancient Greek historian Herodotos of Halikarnassos (lived c. 484 – c. 425 BCE)"

Who is Bendis?
"Bendis
Culture: Thracian and Classical Greek
Gender: Female
The Thracian moon goddess Bendis is the best known Thracian deity, because she was worshiped in Classical Athens, by people who associated Bendis with Artemis. Her cult in Greece was most popular during the 5th and 4th centuries BCE, when she was portrayed in statues in Greek sanctuaries and on ceramic vessels in a group with other deities. She is often pictured holding two spears or other weapons, ready for the hunt."
