• Hyperion: Selene's father. Hyperion was one of the Titans, son of Uranus and Gaia. He married his siter, Theia and by her had three children, Helius, the Greek god of the sun, Eos, the Greek goddess of the dawn, and Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon. Other sources claim that her father was the Titan Pallas, Zeus, or Helios.

  • Theia or Thia: Selene's mother. She married her brother, Hyperion and gave him three children; Helius, Eos and Selene. There are some sources who claim that Selene's mother is Leto, by Zeus. This second opinion may come from mistaking Selene and Helius for Artemis and Apollo, the daughter and son of Leto and Zeus.

  • Helius: Selene's brother and Greek god of the sun. Helius rode his chariot across the sky every day after being summoned by his sister, Eos. His chariot is pulled by four horses - Eos, Pyrois, Aethon and Phlegon as he rises in the east and descends to the west. By Perse he has three daughter - Aeëtes, Circe and Pasiphae. He is also the father of two other daughter; Phaethusa and Lametia and one son, Phaeton, who perished when, given the oppertunity to ride his father's chariot across the sky, was unable to control the horses and fell to his death. Since Helius is able to watch the earth as he passes over, he is often called upon as a witness to events on earth, one being the abduction of Persephone by Hades.

  • Eos: Selene's sister and Greek goddess of the dawn. She is the mother of the four winds: Boreas, Eurus, Zephyrus and Notus by Astracus and is also the mother of Phosphorus and the Stars. Every evening she rides her chariot pulled by her horses Lampus and Phaethon to Olympus to announce her brother, Helius' arrival. She travels with her brother as Hermera and announces his arrival in the west as Hespera. After being caught in bed with Ares, Aphrodite set a curse on the dawn goddess, giving her an eternal longing for young mortals. Although she was married to Astracus, she is known to have had relations with Orion, Cephalus and Cleitus. She was also known for abducting Ganymedes and Tithonus, though Ganymedes was taken from her by Zeus. She begged Zeus to grant Tithonus immortality, but forgot to ask for perpetual youth. Tithonus continued to grow old and eventually Eos grew tired of caring for him and locked him away where he turned into a cicada.

  • Pandia, Ersa and Nemea: The three daughters of Selene and Zeus. Pandia ("all-bright") is the gpddess of brightness and Ersa ("dew" is the goddess of the dew. The Nemean mountains are named after Nemea to where the lion of Heracles' first labor was taken by Iris.

  • 50 Daughters: The 50 daughters that Selene had by Endymion. They represent the 50 lunar months between Olympiads.

  • Narcissus: Considered as one of the most handsome young men is thought by some to be the son of Selene and Endymion while others claim his father to be the river God Cephisus and his mother, the nymph Liriope. He was loved by the nymph Echo whose love was not returned by the beautiful young man. She was one of mnay nymphs who chased Marcissus unsuccessfully. Frustrated, one of the nymphs prayed, "So may he himself love, and not gain the thing he loves" (Ovid, Metamorphoses 3.405) Narcissus beheld his image in a pool and feel so in love with himself that nothing could pull him from his own image, eventually dying from sorrow, unable to find consolation in his love. When the nymphs came to prepare his funeral they could not find his body, only a flower that now bears his name.
