Selene is Greek for Moon. The Greek Moon Goddess was the sister of the Sun God Helios and of Eos, Goddess of the dawn.
The Moon is the only natural satellite of the Earth and the fifth largest moon in the Solar System. It is the only extraterrestrial location having ever been visited by humans.
A relief of Selene is part of the Gigantomachy Frieze in Berlin's Pergamon Museum. |
