Many cultures around the world have created fascinating myths about the Moon. These stories often explain its phases, movements, and influence on human behavior. For example, some believe that the full moon can cause unusual events or affect emotions, leading to the term "lunacy," derived from the Latin word for moon, luna. In various traditions, the Moon is personified as a deity or spirit. In Greek mythology, Selene is the goddess of the moon, while in Chinese mythology, the Moon is associated with the Chang'e legend. These myths reflect humanity's deep connection to the Moon and its impact on life on Earth.
