Demeter, Persephone, and Hecate are all mentioned.

See Halstead’s article for writings from some of these texts. The 3rd century CE Demeter is associated with the moon, and two different phases (new and full). 4th century CE a full connection is made between the moon and the Triple Goddess in a text by Servius. You can check out the translated excerpt in part 3 of Halstead’s writings. As I said, this is my basic understanding of some of the theories that branch off from the Graves’ hypothesis.
