"...
From her immortal head a radiance is shown from heaven and embraces
earth; and great is the beauty that ariseth from her shining light. The
air, unlit before, glows with the light
of her golden crown, and her rays beam clear, whensoever bright Selene
having bathed her lovely body in the waters of Okeanos, and donned her
far-gleaming raiment, and yoked her strong-necked, shining team, and
drives on her long-maned horses at full speed, at eventime in the
mid-month: then her great orbit is full and then her beams shine
brightest as she increases. So she is a sure token and a sign to mortal
men."
~ excerpt from the Homeric Hymn 32 to Selene
