Selene (Titan of the moon)

Selene





Well after Lethe lets go to Selene. Well for the basics Selene was the daughter of Hyperion and Theia.  She was also called Luna . Unlike her brother Helios who is one of the most flashiest titans (like father, like son) Selene prefers to be the calm and the  peaceful one. She rides on her moon chariot which is pulled by two Pegasus. Selene might be the calm type but she is known for her countless love affairs , lets hit the spotlight of her love-life....

Endymion- He was a shepherd , but a few sources say he was the king of Elis.  OK! so Endymion was a  'beautiful' mortal , who Selene fell in love with. Apparently Zeus granted him a wish and he asked for everlasting sleep  by which he would  remain  youthful. So Selene and Endymion had 50 kids! Literally 50 kids together,and one of them was the self obsessed  freak Narcissus ( the dude who got cursed for looking at his own reflection).

Selene loved many other gods like the God of Wild , Aegipan or Pan, and obviously Zeus The lord of skies. Though Selene was a titan she did not support anyone in the war between the gods and titans . Either she was too lazy or she just didn't want to get into another conflict, or maybe she wanted to carry on with her duty as day and night cannot stop.
