Selene and her beloved Endymion, who sleeps forever

Selene in GROUPS NATURAL PERSONIFICATIONS TITANS

This bright and clear Titanian goddess, who shines down with soft light and bathes her lovely body in the waters of the Ocean, is the Moon.

Endymion

Selene, they say, fell in love with the very handsome King Endymion of Elis, who was allowed to choose what he would, and he chose to sleep for ever, remaining deathless and ageless. However some say that he chose to be always sleepless. Endymion's beauty was comparable only to that of Adonis, Ganymedes, Hyacinthus ₁, Narcissus, Hermaphroditus, Hylas and Chrysippus ₂.

Helius and Selene

"From her immortal head a radiance is shown from heaven and embraces earth; and great is the beauty that arises from her shining light." (Homeric Hymn to Selene 2).

Because Helius (Sun) and his sister Selene (Moon) influence the temperature of the air, both pestilential diseases and deaths have been imputed to them. And then they have been associated with Apollo and Artemis, because these are healers, and standing for what is sound and safe, may prevent those diseases and deaths. But he is confused who thinks that things or gods can be easily classified and understood.

Pandia lives among the gods and is exceedingly lovely.
