Plt;bPgt;An examination of the myths of the Moon goddess and how she appeared to the original creators of those myths in ancient Greece.Plt;/bPgt;

Plt;bPgt;An examination of the myths of the Moon goddess and how she appeared to the original creators of those myths in ancient Greece.Plt;/bPgt;Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;Waxing and waning and reborn with each new month, the Moon has always been the supreme symbol of cyclical change in the western world. Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;Metaphorical representations of the MoonP#8217;s goddess also seem to undergo similar changes, each new century reinventing her in its own image. For Hesiod, she was a distant figure in the celestial pantheon, to Keats she was an intimate muse; SeleneP#8217;s recurring role in music, literature, and song is a powerful testament to our continued fascination with her myth.Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;A deeply erudite and meticulously researched survey, this book explores the perennial curiosity our closest orbital neighbor continues to instill, providing at once an unprecedented body of historical research and a critical armature for the authorP#8217;s lauded prose reverie Plt;iPgt;SomniumPlt;/iPgt;. Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;Despite the importance of the Moon to recent developments in esoteric scholarship and mythography, Selene doesnP#8217;t attempt to present a P#8220;Moon-Goddess for the twenty-first century,P#8221; but rather looks at the myths of one specific Moon goddess and how she appeared to the original creators of those myths in the literature of ancient Greece. Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;In doing so, Plt;iPgt;SelenePlt;/iPgt; marks the point at which classical scholarship comes closest to a physical embrace with its ethereal subject matter.
