Mythology
Selene

Selene,
the Demigoddess of the Moon, is faithful. One example is the story of
Endymion. Selene fell in love with Endymion, the Shepard. One night when she
was riding her silver chariot across the sky, it came to her attention that Endymion
would one day grow old and die. Selene was so in love with Endymion that she
asked Zeus if he could pick his own fate. Zeus agreed, and Endymion chose
never to grow old and instead, he would sleep eternally. Another reason
Selene, the moon demigoddess, is loyal is because she visits the sleeping
Endymion every night in her chariot drawn by white horses and kisses him with
her luminous rays of light. In conclusion, from this story, you can see that
Selene is an unfailing moon demigoddess and will always be by her Endymion's
side every night during his endless slumber. |
