In Greek mythology, Selene is the daughter of Titans and goddess of the moon. She is supposed to be quite beautiful and drives a chariot across the night sky. Her personality is said to be benevolent, and she was a fan of both humanity and justice. Ultimately, Selene is best known for an affair she had with a mortal man, which resulted in fifty daughters.
