Selene (given name) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Selene (given name)
Selene is a female given name taken from Selene (Greek Σελήνη (:selɛ̌ːnɛː) 'moon';) in Greek mythology. Selene was an archaic lunar deity and the daughter of the Titans Hyperion and Theia.〔''Bibliotheke'' of Pseudo-Apollodorus, 1.2.2; Hesiod gives a list of the offspring of Hyperion and Theia in ''Theogony'', lines 371ff. In the Homeric Hymn to Helios, Theia is given the name ''Euryphaessa'', the "far-shining" one, an epithet that would apply to Selene herself.〕 Her equivalent in ancient Roman religion and myth is Luna, Latin for "moon". The etymology of ''Selene'' is uncertain, but if the word is of Greek origin, it is likely connected to the word ''selas'' (σέλας), meaning "brightness".〔Kerenyi, Karl (1951) ''The Gods of the Greeks'' (pp. 19, 197). 1951.〕 ==References==
