Juno in Jewelry

I've been de-cluttering. This afternoon I found a jewelry advertisement I saved from a local newspaper about a year ago. I spied a brand in very tiny letters called Juno Lucina, a producer of gifts for mothers, appropriately named, for the Roman goddess of women and childbirth is Juno. As protector of women in childbirth, she is called Juno Lucina. Towards the back of the advertising insert, I also noticed a brand of men's rings called Triton. In Greco-Roman mythology Triton was a god of the sea, a son of Poseidon/Neptune, half man, half fish. I admire the Triton jewelry logo; it turns a T into a trident, the traditional symbol of gods of the sea. Latin lives on in jewelry boxes everywhere.
