One of the most popular myths concerning Patmos Island is the one related to Goddess Artemis. Patmos was believed to have sunk into the sea but Artemis saved it and brought it back to the surface using her divine touch. Ever since, Goddess Artemis is believed to be the island’s protector.
Another myth has it that Orestis, who killed his mother Clytemnestra, escaped and lived in Patmos.
