Dione: the "Aeneidian Moon", from 1,1 MKM
Original caption:"When naming features on other worlds, scientists like to follow themes, and Dione is no exception. Dione possesses numerous features with names from Virgil's 'Aeneid'. The prominent crater showing a central peak below the center is Dido, a 118-Km-wide (about 73-mile) crater named after the supposed founder of Carthage. The crater just above Dido is Antenor, an 82-Km-wide (about 51-mile) impact crater named after the nephew of Priam who founded the Italian city of Padua. At the upper right is the 97-Km-wide (about 60-mile) impact crater Turnus, which lies at the western end of Carthage Linea, a region of bright, fractured terrain. The sunlit terrain seen here shows some of the wispy markings on the Moon's trailing hemisphere. Cassini revealed that these markings are actually a complex system of fractures. North on Dione is up and rotated 25° to the left (...)".
