LunaQueen, The Divinely Feminine Art of Self-Discovery

Product Information

In Roman art, Luna attributes are the crescent moon plus the two-yoke chariot ( biga). In the Carmen Saeculare, performed in 17 BC, Horace invokes her as the "two-horned queen of the stars" ( siderum regina bicornis), bidding her to listen to the girls singing as Apollo listens to the boys. [3] Luna's Greek counterpart was Selene. In Roman art and literature, myths of Selene are adapted under the name of Luna. The myth of Endymion, for instance, was a popular subject for Roman wall painting. [7] Cult and temples [ edit ] Altar of the goddess Luna.

A biga of oxen was also driven by Hecate, the chthonic aspect of the triple goddess in complement with the "horned" or crescent-crowned Diana and Luna. [23] The three-form Hecate ( trimorphos) was identified by Servius with Luna, Diana, and Proserpina. [24] According to the Archaic Greek poet Hesiod, Hecate originally had power over the heavens, land, and sea, not as in the later tradition Heaven, Earth, and underworld. [25] Gallery [ edit ] Varro categorized Luna and Sol among the visible gods, as distinguished from invisible gods such as Neptune, and deified mortals such as Hercules. [4] She was one of the deities Macrobius proposed as the secret tutelary of Rome. [5] In Imperial cult, Sol and Luna can represent the extent of Roman rule over the world, with the aim of guaranteeing peace. [6]Luna is often depicted driving a two-yoke chariot called a biga, drawn by horses or oxen. In Roman art, the charioteer Luna is regularly paired with the Sun driving a four-horse chariot ( quadriga). Varro lists Luna among twelve deities who are vital to agriculture, [8] as does Vergil in a different list of twelve, in which he refers to Luna and Sol as clarissima mundi lumina, the world's clearest sources of light. [9] Varro also lists Luna among twenty principal gods of Rome ( di selecti). [10] In this list, Luna is distinguished from both Diana and Juno, who also appear on it. In Sabine and ancient Roman religion and myth, Luna is the divine embodiment of the Moon (Latin Lūna [ˈɫ̪uːnä]). 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 Diana and either Proserpina or 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. [2] As Noctiluna ("Night-Shiner") Luna had a temple on the Palatine Hill, which Varro described as shining or glowing by night. Nothing else is known about the temple, and it is unclear what Varro meant. [17] Juno as Moon goddess [ edit ]
