Diana (deity): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 22:59, 28 February 2020

This article is about Roman goddess of the moon and the hunt. You may be looking for Diana, resident of Davenport Homestead.

Diana is the Roman goddess of the hunt, the moon, and the nature. She is the daughter of Jupiter and Latona, and the twin sister of Apollo.

Her equivalent in Greek mythology is Artemis.

During the Renaissance, the Villa Auditore in Monteriggioni had a statuette featuring Diana. It was paired with one of her brother Apollo, and functioned together as a key to open a stash of 2,000 florins.^[1]

The statuette in Assassin's Creed II seems to be based on Diana of Versailles, given their identical postures.
