She is often presented as the female complement of the Sun, Sol, conceived of as a god. Luna is also sometimes represented as an aspect of the Roman triple goddess (diva triformis), along with Proserpina and Hecate. Luna is not always a distinct goddess, but sometimes rather an epithet that specializes a goddess, since both Diana and Juno are identified as moon goddesses; Luna's Greek counterpart was Selene. In Roman art and literature, myths of Selene are adapted under the name of Luna) Selene (Selene; In Greek mythology, Selene (Ancient Greek: Σελήνη = Selēnē, "Moon") is the goddess of the Moon.
