【月神塞勒涅(Selene)与牧羊人恩底弥翁(Endymion)的永睡】
月神塞勒涅(Selene

简介
塞勒涅是第二代希腊天神,塞勒涅Selene的名字意为“月亮”,她的罗马名字是Luna,满月是她的象征。每到夜晚,美丽动人的塞勒涅都会乘着两匹白马拉的银色马车,从海中升起,直上天庭。她头戴半月形的金冠,长长的轻纱飘在身后,缈如云烟。塞勒涅头顶的月形金冠照亮着夜空,正是因为有她,夜间才会有明亮的月光。

塞勒涅的故事
【塞勒涅与牧羊人】
天生丽质的塞勒涅以无数爱情故事闻名人神两界,其中最著名的是她与牧羊人恩底弥翁(Endymion)的爱情故事。
恩底弥翁是一个年轻的牧羊人,他在拉特莫斯山上放牧羊群。拉特莫斯草场嫩绿新鲜,空气纯净清凉。当月亮升起时,景色异常迷人。恩底弥翁非常喜欢这一切,甚至连晚上都睡在山坡上,俯视这美丽的夜景,然后酣然入睡。
一天,塞勒涅在闲逛时发现了熟睡中的恩底弥翁。她不禁被这个年轻人的英俊相貌惊呆了,舍不得离去。于是她每晚都会特地来看他,用手指轻抚恩底弥翁的头发,审视他那俊秀的脸庞。她是多么希望这个年轻人永远年轻并长睡不醒啊,因为她最喜欢恩底弥翁在她的月光中酣睡的样子。有一天,塞勒涅不小心弄醒了恩底弥翁,后者睁开朦胧的双眼,看着眼前头顶金冠、沐浴在神圣月光下的塞勒涅,情不自禁地爱上了她。两者相视良久,情愫暗生,塞勒涅深知自己要照亮黑夜的职责,于是转身准备离去,但恩底弥翁伸手拉住了她。恰巧这时候一颗流行滑过天际,聪明的恩底弥翁开口说道:“亲爱的女神,你看那是一颗多么美丽的流星,虽然它一坠地便失去了光芒,但是终究它摆脱了四处漂泊的生命,找到了自己的永久归宿。”塞勒涅听了这番话不由轻叹了一口气,美丽的月亮女神又何尝不想有个温暖的居所。于是,塞勒涅找到了朱庇特,恳求他允许自己住在凡间并赐予恩底弥翁永恒的青春与生命,朱庇特答应了她的请求,但仍然要求塞勒涅履行照亮黑夜的职责。之后塞勒涅与恩底弥翁幸福的生活在一起,并生了50个孩子。为了能够在晚上更多地陪伴自己的丈夫与孩子,塞勒涅与狄安娜及菲碧轮流守夜,菲碧代表新月、赛勒涅代表满月、阿尔忒弥斯代表弯月,这就是月相的来历。
每当说起塞勒涅和恩底弥翁的故事,人们无不为塞勒涅对于家庭的执着而钦慕,于是后人都会通过祭拜月亮女神塞勒涅来求得婚姻的幸福美满与家庭生活的和谐稳定。

恩底弥翁的永睡(Endymion's perpetual dreamy sleep)


【月神塞勒涅(Selene)与牧羊人恩底弥翁(Endymion)的永睡】
Here introduce an interesting story (actually it is a Greek mythology) named: Endymion's perpetual dreamy sleep.

Endymion was a handsome young shepherd who kept his flocks of sheep on Mt. Latmos,Asia Minor.Living in a quiet, lovely valley, he lived a perfectly peaceful life. Sometimes when his sheep grazed happily on some rich grass around, he would lie down on the meadow and sleep soundly, completely free from worldly griefs and cares.
One clear, bright night, as Artemis drove her carriage across the heavens, her eyes chanced upon a beautiful youth sleeping in the peaceful valley below. Her heart beat with love and admiration. She came down from her moon carriage and gave a quick but passionate kiss on his face. Even the sleepy Endymion was fascinated at the sight of the fair maiden as he opened his eyes. But the vision disappeared so soon that he regarded the whole scene as a dream. Every night Artemis floated down to steal a kiss from the lips of the sleeping shepherd until her occasional carelessness of duty caused the suspicion of Zeus. The father of gods and men decided to remove the earthly temptation to the goddess forever. He called for Endymion on to him and ordered him to choose between death in any form and everlasting youth in perpetual dreamy sleep. The shepherd chose the latter, and he still slept on Mt Latmos, with the moon goddess sadly visiting and kissing him every night.
