About this artwork
Selene, daughter of the Titans Hyperion and Theia, was an important figure among the Greeks who, as the goddess of the moon, had a significant influence on their chronology. The Greek calendar was based on the phases of the moon.
Together with her siblings Helios (the sun) and Eos (the dawn) she was responsible for the change of day and night, and she personally was responsible for the morning dew. She later handed this task over to her daughter… Ersa.
Selene was considered particularly beautiful and, according to mythology, had several lovers and numerous children. Her great love, it is said, was for a simple, mortal shepherd named Endymion, one of the most beautiful men in the world at the time. With him she fathered 50 children who corresponded to the 50 phases of the moon of the year. During her nocturnal journeys across the night sky, she is said to have worn a crescent moon crown on her head.
