Selene (goddess)

Selene is the ancient Greek goddess of the moon, symbolizing its glow and cycles. Often depicted as a beautiful woman with a crescent moon on her forehead, she is believed to guide the moon across the night sky each evening and to influence natural rhythms like tides and fertility. In mythology, she is the daughter of the Titans Hyperion and Theia and is sometimes associated with the Greek goddess Artemis. Selene's influence highlights the moon's significance in timekeeping, navigation, and cultural rituals in ancient Greece.
