 Selene is the goddess that brings out the moon every night. One night the
moonbeams fell upon a young Shepard named Endymian. When it was time for
Eos to bring the dawn, Selene went to Zeus and asked him for eternal
sleep for the young Shepard. She new not to ask for eternal life and have
the mortal turn into a grasshopper. Zeus granted her wish. Endymian
slept on and on smiling the whole time. He would dream that he would be
holding the moon in his arms. They had 50 daughters all of them were as
beautiful as their mother and as sleepy as their father.
