The Greek goddess of the Moon was Selene, pronounced "sell-eh-nee". Her Roman counterpart was the goddess Diana, who was not only the goddess of the Moon but also the goddess of the hunt.
Disney used this version of the myth in the original Disney cartoon "Fantasia", in which the segment of Beethoven's Sixth, the "Pastoral" symphony, ends when the goddess Diana draws her bow into a crescent moon shape to launch the evening star into the sky. This thin crescent is often called "Diana's Bow".
