Mythology: Dictina (also Dictynna) was born as Britomartis (good maiden) of Gortyna, a daughter of Leto (if anyone knows who her father was, I would really appreciate the info). She invented hunting-nets and was a close companion to Artemis, whose hounds she kept on a leash. Minos pursued her, and she hid from him under thick-leaved oak-saplings in the water meadows, and then for nine months he pursued her over craggy mountains and level plains until, in desperation, she threw herself into the sea, and was hauled to safety by fishermen. Artemis deified Britomartis under the name of Dictynna; but on Aegina she is worshipped as Aphaea (not dark, or vanisher)because she vanished; at Sparta as Artemis, surnamed ''The Lady of the Lake''; and on Cephallonia as Laphria (she who wins booty); the Samians, however, use her true name in their invocations.
