Artemis was the patron goddess of Sparta.Explanation:Artemis found to be the daughter of Zeus and guardian of young children and was assumed to bear and cure women of disease. She was traditionally a goddess of fertility and hunting and closely associated with the killing of wild animals.

The statement which described a characteristic of Sparta's religion would be that Artemis was the patron godess of Sparta, they did, however, also worship other gods from Greek mythology. What is also interesting is that the Spartans would sacrifice to Artemis before starting a military campaign.
