So there was more than one Diana?Again, there are several Dianas. The first is the daughter of Jupiter and Proserpina, and she is said to be the mother of the winged Cupid. The second is more familiar to us, having been born, we are told, from Jupiter mark three and Latona. Tradition has it that the father of the third was Upis, and that her mother was Glauce; the Greeks often call her Upis after her father.
