- Titan moon goddess 

Brief Bio

Selene is the ancient Greek goddess of the Moon, embodying its luminous, calming, and mysterious qualities. Often depicted as a beautiful, radiant maiden riding a chariot across the night sky, Selene symbolizes the moon's gentle light and its influence over time and tides.

In myth, Selene is believed to be the daughter of the Titans Hyperion (the Sun) and Theia (the goddess of sight and the shining ether), making her part of the primordial cosmic order. She is the sister of Helios (the Sun) and Eos (the Dawn), representing the nightly counterpart to her brother's daytime light.

Selene's most famous myth involves her love for the mortal shepherd Endymion, whom she put into an eternal sleep to preserve his youthful beauty so she could gaze upon him forever. Her serene and mysterious nature embodies the quiet, cyclical rhythm of the lunar phases and the passage of time.

Although less prominent in grand mythological stories than Olympian deities, Selene's role as the lunar goddess underscores the importance of the moon in Greek cosmology, symbolizing femininity, change, and the passage of time.
