Diana

Diana is the Roman Goddess of wild animals and the hunt.

Original stories of Diana depict her as an indigenous woodland goddess. She eventually became connected to the moon across several cultures as well.

In Latin, her name means “goddess of light and of the moon.” It stems from the words for “shining,” “divine,” “the open sky,” and “daylight.”

Diana is also connected to the underworld, which may seem contradictory, but like the moon, she is known for shining so brightly "she made it like day during the night."
