create alias diana_(greek_mythology) (3) -> artemis_(greek_mythology) (2)
create alias diana_(roman_mythology) (0) -> artemis_(greek_mythology) (2)
Reason: Artemis and Diana are the same goddess, Artemis being her older Greek name and Diana being the one bestowed upon her by the later Romans. Although the latter originally existed separately, she effectively became Artemis early in Roman history, and throughout the Middle Ages, Renaissance, and to the modern day, the two names refer to the same goddess. According to e621's own preferences for tagging alternate names for effectively the same character, diana_(greek_mythology) should be aliased to artemis_(greek_mythology). Besides, the greek_mythology is inaccurate. As a preventative measure, diana_(roman_mythology) is also being aliased to artemis_(greek_mythology).
Fun facts: Later on in Roman times, Diana also took on aspects of two other goddesses although she didn't assimilate them completely. Other than being Artemis (Diana of the hunt), she also gained aspects of both the moon goddess Selene (Greek)/Luna (Roman) (as Diana of the Moon) and the goddess of crossroads and witchcraft Hekate (Greek)/Trivia (Roman) (as Diana of the Underworld). This concept of Diana as a triple goddess was called Diana triformis. Despite this, modern thought today associates Diana as being synonymous with Artemis.
