Belphoebe
Belphoebe is a character in Edmund Spenser's poem The Faerie Queene, a representation of Queen Elizabeth I. Spenser intended her name to mean "beautiful Diana", and it is suggested that she is a member of Poseidon's family. A virgin huntress, Belphoebe can certainly fight, as a potential rapist found out. She is the stronger, militant sister of Amoret.
Belphoebe is mentioned in Kipling's poem "The Queen's Men", which is based on Spenser's work and which constitutes a lament for two young sea-captains who perished on a mission to which she sent them:
Belphoebe is also mentioned in Sir Walter Raleigh's poem "If Cynthia be a Queen",
