Note to self: Clearly, the moons of Uranus are Shakespearian: Cordelia from King Lear; Ophelia, the fated heroine of Hamlet; Bianca, the mistress of Cassio in Othello; Cressida from Troilus and Cressida; Desdemona, the heroine of Othello; Juliet, the star-crossed lover in Romeo and Juliet; Portia, who dispensed justice in The Merchant Of Venice; Rosalind, the heroine of As You Like It; Miranda, the heroine of The Tempest; and Ariel, the airy spirit in The Tempest who employs magic and sings 'Full fathom five'. Puck was originally a malicious spirit but in A Midsummer Night's Dream he was identified as Hobgoblin or Robin Goodfellow, and in the same play Titania and Oberon are Queen and King of the Fairies. Astrologically, this allusion to fairies in Uranus' first five moons contains the implication that all of us bear the ability to perform magic and intuitive functions if we can tap the innocence with which we were born. All the characters seem to represent higher truth, ideals beyond their time, or intuition in some form.

Note to self:

According to Creation myth, Earth, or Gaia and her son Uranus (Heaven) bore the seven planetary powers on Mount Olympus, setting a Titaness and a Titan over each. Cronus (crow) was one of the first twelve Titans, the first race, and had rulership of Saturn, together with Rhea (Earth). Theia (divine) and Hyperion (dweller on high) ruled the Sun; Phoebe (bright moon) and Atlas (he who dares) ruled the Moon; Dione (divine queen) and Crius ruled Mars; Metis (counsel) and Coeus (intelligence) ruled Mercury; Themis (order) and Eurymedon (wide rule) ruled Jupiter; and Tethys (disposer) and Oceanus (of the swift queen) ruled Venus. Other Titans include Iapetus (hurrier), who was the father of Prometheus, creator of mankind and brother of Epimetheus. Pandora married Epimetheus. Calypso was daughter to Oceanus, by Thetis.
