Greek mythology
Atemis was the virgin goddess of hunt, wild animals and uncultivated lands. She was associated with the Moon. She preferred free living in the countryside and forests, to that of cities.
On one occasion, Zeus --disguised as Artemis-- seduced one of her companions, a beautiful princess named Callisto. After a few months, when she went to take a bath with Artemis, she discovered that she was pregnant. Very anger, she turned Callisto into a bear to be hunted. On another occasion, Actaeus of Thebes, faithful follower of Artemis and virgin like her, had the bad luck to clash with the goddess in one of his hunts while she was bathing naked. Artemis, relentless, turned him into a deer who was killed by his own hunting dogs.
This mythology describes the subjective experience of being exposed to the appearance of hunters or predators, like at the beginning of the movie "The Bourne Supremacy" (2004).
(105) Artemis is related to the ability to detect environmental signals that are out of the usual (3:11 resonance with the Earth-Moon system).

Historical celebrity
Venetia Burney,, at the age of 11 years, proposed the name that would become official for the planet Pluto:
"It was about 8 o’clock and I was having breakfast with my mother and my grandfather; and my grandfather as usual opened the paper, the Times, and in it he read that a new planet had been discovered. He wondered what it should be called. We all wondered. And then I said, “Why not call it Pluto”. And the whole thing stemmed from that."
Her grandfather forwarded the suggestion to astronomer Herbert Hall Turner, who cabled his American colleagues at Lowell Observatory. Clyde Tombaugh, the discoverer of the new planet, liked the name because it started with the initials of Percival Lowell who had initiated the search for Pluto. Because of its mythological coherence with the rest of the classical planets, the name was formally adopted.
The most amazing this thing is that she was referring
to Pluto, the dog of Walt Disney that always accompanies Mickey Mouse!
(6235) Burney is related with very personal approaches, that later have validity at the collective level, due to its analogy (17:9 resonance with Cybele and 1:14 with Mercury), like in the movie "What Lies Beneth" (2000).
