Subject: RE: Folklore: Bright Phoebe-?
"Bright Phoeby" is the way I've always rendered it where it is obvious that it is the Sun that is being referred to: "Bright Phoeby awakes ... red rosy cheeks ... sparkling eye" - funny sort of moon. But the moon would be Phoebe - the Greek Titan (i.e pre-Olympus) goddess of the moon.
