Greek Deity of the Moon?

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Tbe article's subtitle seems extremely spurious to me. Selene and Artemis were specifically the Moon goddesses, and Hecate was associated with the Moon due to her realm of witchcraft and her association with Artemis/Diana.

However, to call Aphroditus a "Deity of the Moon" simply because he is possibly associated with Moon - mostly theories of later scholars - is inaccurate and misleading. This should be changed to something more appropriate to his best-known and -acknowledged features. Mastakos (talk) 21:00, 9 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Changed to "Masculine form of Aphrodite". – Michael Aurel (talk) 22:59, 9 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
