Antipholus of Syracusa's pursuit of Luciana in The Comedy of Errors references the Actaeon/Diana myth, with Luciana associated with the goddess Diana. This metaphor shows the heroic intellect pursuing divine truth, an idea from Giordano Bruno's works. Petruchio's wooing of Kate in The Taming of the Shrew also references this myth twice, with Kate likened to Diana and Petruchio to the pursuing Actaeon. By referencing this myth, Shakespeare explored Bruno's idea of the heroic lover seeking eternal truth, though in more subtle ways as his skill developed.
