Hyperion and Theia, Titans of heavenly light, bore the three luminaries of the Roman sky — Sol who drives the day, Luna who governs the night, and Aurora who heralds the dawn between them.
Diana wears the face of Luna when the moon rides full — the huntress who ranges the forests by day rules the night sky as goddess of the lunar cycle, governing tides and women's fertility from her silver throne above.
Selene and Luna are the Greek and Roman moon goddesses. Both drive a chariot across the night sky and share the same mythological role as the personification of the moon.
