     Political cartoon:
     Two people watch the Artemis 2 launch.
     One says:
     IT'S NICE TO SHARE ONE THING NOT
     TOUCHED BY POLITICS...
     BY THE WAY, WHO WAS ARTEMIS?
     The other replies: GODDESS OF THE HUNT AND PROTECTOR OF YOUNG GIRLS.
     The first yells: DO YOU HAVE TO RUIN EVERYTHING?!!

     The Romans mutated their Diana to be a copy of Artemis.
     Diana is often shown with a headdress made of a crescent moon.
     Eventually Artemis absorbed Selene's attributes. Selene was the Greek personification of the Moon, & Luna is the Roman version.
     Selene & Artemis were associated with Hecate (goddess of witches) and all 3 associated with the Moon.
     English: Man in the Moon.
     Japan: Rabbit in the Moon.
     Insular Celts: Hare in the Moon; the Normans brought the rabbits.
