This piece is called 'Artemis in the Forest'.  Artemis was the goddess of the forest, wild animals, young girls and the moon.  She was also the goddess of the hunt. In ancient Greece the hunters were considered the environmentalists.  Artemis could speak to animals in their own language.  She is the daughter of Zeus and she asked her father to grant her wishes:  To remain a virgin goddess, to bring the light of the new moon, to own a bow and quiver of arrows, and to wear a knee-length tunic.  She asked that her companions be only girls, women, and dogs.  
Once when she was bathing in her beloved woods, a hunter glimpsed her naked in a pool and, entranced by her beauty, spied on her.  She discovered him and turned him into a stag, whereupon his hunting dogs tore him to shreds.  I don't know if women wrote these myths but one can imagine a tale of sweet revenge being especially satisfying to women under male oppression.
