“That the Ephesian Artemis was distinct from the Greek Artemis is clear, especially in light of the cult image of Artemis Ephesia.”
There was syncretism due to the names, this does not mean they were the same.
The reason I bring this up is because it is the attributes of Artemis of Ephesus (namely motherhood and fertility) that Paul may be addressing in 1 Tim, not the Greek Artemis. To confuse the 2 is a mistake I made when I first started studying this area.
