From her immortal head a heaven-sent glow envelops the earth and beauty arises under its radiance.
From her golden crown the dim air is made to glitter as her rays turn night to noon, whenever Selene, having bathed her skin in the Ocean, put on her shining raiment and harnessed her proud-necked and glistening steeds, drives them on as their manes play with the evening, dividing the months.
Her great orbit is full and as she waxes a brilliant light appears in the sky.
Thus to mortals she is a sign and a token.
Once Kronides shared her bed and her love; and became pregnant and gave birth to Pandeia, a maiden outstanding for beauty among the immortal Gods.
Hail, Queen and white-armed Goddess, splendid Selene, kindly and fair-tressed.
Homer
