>Again the moon is the suppressor of love. I read that the goddess of the moon, Diana, also symbolizes virginity. In Act I, Theseus's wedding to Hippolyta must wiat for the moon to change, and Hermia (if she renounces Demetrius) will be doomed to become a nun at Diana's altar. The wedge between Titania and Oberon's love causes the rivers to flood, and the moon is the "governess of floods" because it controls the tides.
Diana (Artemis) is associated with virginity and childhood, also associated with the necessary transformations from innocence to experience. Artemis, according to certain cults in certain regions, had to be placated before aspiring adults would be allowed to marry, being other protective of possessive of the innocent young. Sometimes marriage rituals seem specifically to invoke Artemis. And sometimes members of her cult may have officiated.
Artemis is actually a big deal, now that I think about it. It's no surprise the giant temple she had in Ephesus.
I do not know much about the Roman cultic practices of Diana. I assume, perhaps foolishly, that they're similar.
Fun read so far.
