Endymion
In the magical mountains of Arcadia, there was a beautiful and quiet meadow. In this meadow, there lived a young shepherd named Endymion. He was known for his unparalleled beauty and great kindness. Every morning, he would lead his sheep through the lush green meadows, singing sweet melodies and filling the atmosphere with joy and peace.
Selene
Every night, when the sun set and the moon rose in the sky, the Selene, the goddess of the moon, came out to illuminate the world. The Moon watched Endymion from above and admired his beauty and kindness. Every night, she watched him sleeping peacefully in his meadows, and her heart was filled with love.
Endymion - Selene
One night,Selini decided to come down to Earth to meet Endymion up close. When she got close to him, she found him sleeping under a large tree. Selene approached him and kissed him gently on the forehead. Then, Endymion awoke and saw the glowing goddess before him.
Selene explained to him who she was and told him about her love. Endymion also felt his heart beating loudly in love for the beautiful goddess. However, they knew they could not be together, as Selene had to light the world every night and Endymion was mortal.
Endymion - Selene
Selene, with a heavy heart, asked Jupiter to make Endymion immortal so that they could meet every night in his dreams. Jupiter agreed and made Endymion sleep eternally, preserving his youth and beauty.
Eternal sleep
Since then, every night, when the Moon rises in the sky, she sneaks down to the fields of Arcadia and meets her beloved Endymion in his dreams. Together, they live beautiful moments and Selene lights up the world with even more brilliance, as her heart is full of love.
