On Ganymede, there's thought to be ice under the rock which causes odd effects a bit like your Mysterious Scratch.
This is very cool. Also gorgeous.
There are a lot of names in the Aeneid, all those sailors and spear-carrying Carthaginians. What I think would be beyond weird would be calling one of those craters Aeolus -- opener of the bag of the winds -- who appears in book 1 to cause a storm at Juno's behest and then have an argument with Neptune. If there's one thing Dione doesn't have more than anything else it's wind. It might have ice, which is like an ocean, sort of, but you can just tell looking at those images that there was never any wind, not even once.
