Selene

We will transfer the twins, Helios and Selene, the sun and the moon, from heaven to earth; they must become mortals—Greeks.

Wait till Orion thunders overhead and Selene, crowned with the crescent moon, drives up the zenith in her white-horsed chariot.

Great Artemis guarded their flocks by night; Selene kissed in love the eyes of those who slept.

The natives of this country represented Bendis as a female; and supposed her to be the same as Selene, or the moon.

Hence Nonnus introduces the former begging of Selene not to envy him this happiness.
