I always assumed that they were elsewhere
doing the same as Jaedite was doing in Japan.
Reasonable solution.
I might ever want to marry, is you, Phoebe."
I thought that an odd choice for Mar's old name,
given its lunar associations. Especially
with "Aphrodite" for Minako, why not "Aries" (or a
feminization thereof: "Ariana")?
Phoebe would be a feminine form of Phobos,
Except it's not. If "Phoebe" were a feminine form of
anything, it would be "Phoebus", as in Apollo, meaning
that the feminine would be Artemis. Seriously, I did a
google "define:Phoebe" before I posted, just to double
check, and Phoebe can up with multiple references as a
goddess or titaness later identified with Artemis.
Actually, Alan's response to my post hinted at a better
solution, looking for a Greek war goddess. While she's
not explicitly a goddess of war, there is one and only
one leading candidate here: Athena. (And no smart
remarks about Sailor Moon Z!)
