Selene is the ancient Greek goddess of the moon, often depicted as a beautiful woman driving a chariot across the night sky. She is associated with lunar cycles and is sometimes considered a personification of the moon itself. In mythology, Selene is the daughter of the Titans Hyperion and Theia, and she has a brother named Helios, who represents the sun. In Roman mythology, Selene is equivalent to Luna. She is often portrayed with a crescent moon on her head and is known for her gentle light that illuminates the darkness. Selene's stories often involve her love for the mortal Endymion, whom she visited each night, highlighting themes of love and longing.
