I'm from Poland. In Polish Artemis is called Artemida(ahr-teh-MEE-dah) (similarly in Italian Artemis is called Artemide). In Polish Aphrodite is called Afrodyta(ah-froh-DIH-tah), Persephone is called Persefona(pehr-seh-FOH-nah), etc. Mythological names are usually translated into different languages, they don't just take the Greek forms in every language.You can look up Artemis on wikipedia and click on the translations to see the interesting forms the name takes in different languages. They are all accurate for the languages I speak(can't vouch for all the others).
