Why is it called as Thrice crowned queen of night from Shakespeare's As you like it?
According to Samuel Johnson's notes on the passage spoken by Orlando at the beginning of Act III Scene ii, the "queen of night", that is to say, the moon, is "thrice crowned" because it is three goddesses. Johnson says: "Alluding to the triple character of Proserpine, Cynthia, and Diana, given by some mythologists to the same Goddess, and comprised in these memorial lines: Terret, lustrat, agit, Proserpina, Luna, Diana, Ima, superna, feras, sceptro, fuljore, sagittis." One cannot help noting that the second name is "Luna" and not "Cynthia", but since no other explanation presents itself, we are probably stuck with this one.
