The Greek goddess of the Moon, distinct from Artemis, is Selene.
Selene is both the goddess and personification of the Moon in ancient Greek mythology. Traditional genealogies make her the daughter of the Titans Hyperion and Theia, and the sister of Helios, the Sun, and Eos, the Dawn. She is commonly imagined driving a horse-drawn chariot across the night sky.
A major myth concerns her love for Endymion, a beautiful mortal shepherd or king. Zeus grants Endymion eternal sleep, allowing Selene to visit him without aging or waking. Different traditions vary on the details, including the number and identity of their children, but the story became one of the best-known lunar romances in classical mythology.
Selene, Artemis and Hecate were all associated with the Moon, especially in later periods, which causes frequent confusion. Artemis was primarily a goddess of the hunt and wilderness, while Selene represented the Moon itself. Selene’s Roman equivalent is Luna, and her name also appears in scientific terms such as selenology, the study of the Moon.
