Endymion was an extremely handsome mortal man, some even say he was a King. One day he caught the eye of the eternally gorgeous goddess of the moon Selene, and she in turn fell madly in love with him. The two had a passionate love affair and had many children, some myths even saying the two shared 50 daughters. However, Endymion was mortal, and not wanting to see her lover die Selene cast a spell of eternal sleep over him. And so he did, in slumber remaining forever young and handsome.

What a coincidence! I, too, remain young and handsome when I sleep!

Ah, who am I kidding? My back hurts...

Ha! I was just looking at the pic, and I thought "Hmm... that looks very familiar...." I looked at it closely and the picture is from Sailor Moon!!!! Serenity and Endymion. But hey even that is based off of the myth of Selene and Endymion. I think that's the main reason of why I even know about the story of Selene and Endymion.

lol! that is interesting. Many small kids are watching the Sailor Moon's series without even realizing that they're learning greek mythology!!
