Commentary


Adrastée est un satellite naturel de Jupiter, le deuxième plus proche de la planète.
Adrastée porte le nom d'Adrastée, une nymphe de la mythologie grecque, fille d'Ananké et de Mélissé, ainsi que la sœur d'Ida ; elle fut chargée par Rhéa de protéger Zeus enfant contre Cronos.
De toute évidence, Adrastée est invoquée ici pour protéger et quand on connaît le sort de la malheureuse reine Marie, on imagine à quel point elle avait besoin de protection.
