Selene<br />

Greek goddess of the moon. Daughter of the Titans Hyperion <strong>and</strong> Theia. Sister of<br />

Helios (sun) <strong>and</strong> Eos (dawn). Mother of P<strong>and</strong>ia by Zeus, <strong>and</strong> of fifty daughters by<br />

Endymion. She rode across the sky in a chariot drawn by two white horses. Also a<br />

tutelary deity of magicians. Selene was sometimes identified with Artemis as a moon<br />

goddess. She became synchronized with Hekate in later Greek mythology. The<br />

Romans equated her with Luna.
