The Moon Stallion (BBC 1978) is a film loaded with references to the goddess Diana. Although the film focuses on the true
legend of King Arthur the main character is named Diana and is the goddess' chosen one. The moon stallion is the magical horse
of the goddess (Diana, goddess of the moon, therefore the moon stallion is her representation on Earth). Although the film
takes place in England (tying in the myth of the chalk horse and other English legends) the theme of regional goddesses representing
the same ideas/beings is discussed in the film mostly in relation to Epona, the celtic horse goddess (sometimes depicted as
a virgin girl or as a horse herself) but also in relation to others.
