Just word play on the Moon Goddess in support of the incest idea.

It's a little roundabout. Maud must have been less a baseball fan than
struck by the suggestion in the headline of Keats's famous poem (On
first Looking into Chapman's Homer) and in turn to the poet's
exploration of the Greek myth about the lad put to  sleep (almost
perpetually) by the moon goddess and producing many children by him.

Keats didn't know much Greek (he did know Latin) and was enthralled upon
being introduced to Greek myth by Chapman's translations of Homer.




Pursuing every lead.
