Yes, I know. Diana in the story isn't intended to be a goddess. She's intended to part mortal but descended from a goddess, perhaps Selene. The name is just a hint of her similarity to Artemis.

Diana has the guy all the other girls want, yet she finds the relationship constraining. Artemis got Zeus to promise that she could remain a virgin. Subsequently, she defended women who wanted to follow a similar path.

Artemis/Diana same goddess, different places in the world. One Greek/One Roman.
