- List of geological features on Dione
This is a list of named geological features on Dione. Dionean geological features are named after people and places in Roman mythology.
Catenae
Catenae are crater chains. They are named after rivers in Roman mythology.
Lineae
Originally, three geological features were labelled lineae (bright wispy markings). However, later evidence from the "Cassini" probe revealed them to be chasms, and they were all renamed as such (see above).
Craters
Dionean craters are named after figures from Greek and Roman mythology, especially the "Aeneid".
