时期作为月神的大部分职能才被阿尔忒弥斯取代,二者开始混同,并且因为混同的原因,后来一些古典作家、诗人也开始称塞勒涅为宙斯的女儿。(比如博尔赫斯那首非常经典的《恩底弥翁在拉特莫斯山上》:“我孤独的踏遍人间人间道路/但始终在灵感的夜晚/寻找宙斯的女儿/那冷漠的月亮”)
【塞勒涅和恩底弥翁】
最早提到他们的应该是萨福(不过不确定我没找到资料),但这个故事的第一个记载在公元前三世纪,罗德岛阿波罗尼乌斯的《阿尔戈诺蒂卡》( Argonautica),讲述疯狂激情的塞勒涅拜访公平的恩底弥翁。
恩底弥翁的身份众说纷纭,有说是牧羊人,有说是国王,还有宙斯的儿子(该说法来源于《女性目录》)。
不过他的永恒沉睡显然更众所周知一些x!沉睡的原因也同样有不同的说法,都很有意思!

The eternally sleeping Endymion was proverbial,[73] but exactly how this eternal sleep came about and what role, if any, Selene may have had in it is unclear. According to the Catalogue of Women, Endymion was the son of Aethlius (a son of Zeus), and Zeus granted him the right to choose when he would die.[74] A scholiast on Apollonius says that, according to Epimenides, Endymion fell in love with Hera, and Zeus punished him with eternal sleep.[75] However, Apollodorus says that because of Endymion's "surpassing beauty, the Moon fell in love with him, and Zeus allowed him to choose what he would, and he chose to sleep for ever, remaining deathless and ageless".[76] Theocritus portrays Endymion's sleep as enviable because (presumably) of Selene's love for him.[77] Cicero seems to make Selene responsible for Endymion's sleep, so that "she might kiss him while sleeping".[78] The Roman playwright Seneca, has Selene abandoned the night sky for Endymion's sake having entrusted her "shining" moon chariot to her brother Helios to drive.[79] The Greek satirist Lucian's dialogue between Selene and the love goddess Aphrodite has the two goddesses commiserate about their love affairs with Endymion and Adonis, and suggests that Selene has fallen in love with Endymion while watching him sleep each night.[80] In his dialogue between Aphrodite and Eros, Lucian also has Aphrodite admonish her son Eros for bringing Selene "down from the sky".[81]
另外,修普诺斯爱上恩底弥翁使他永久沉睡的版本出自《德伊普诺索菲斯特》(Deipnosophistae),里面的诗人Likymnios of Chios(不知道该咋翻译)的叙述。
第7章 总有事物长存
“我可以把‘死’从他身上剥离,永远不会寻找他,让他的灵魂永远待在自己的躯壳中。”
塔纳托斯轻轻开口,“只要我这样祝福他。”
面对这样的提议,塞勒涅不可能不感到心动。
如果恩底弥翁不会死,那么,接下来她要为自己心爱的情人做的,只有寻觅和永久的生命相匹配的,永久的青春了。
赫柏是一位天真、仁慈慷慨的女神,她有办法打动赫柏。
不必经过宙斯,获取神王的首肯,她同样可以和恩底弥翁厮守,不会因为对方是凡人而分离。
更重要的是。
即便有一日,宙斯向他们这些不完全被自己掌控的旧时代的神发难,用可笑的、完全不构成理由的理由,恩底弥翁也不会因为她的缘故受到影响,遭蒙牵连。
因为许以恩底弥翁永久生命的不是他自己,不是奥林匹斯的任何神,而是倪克斯的儿子。
倪克斯最喜欢的,孕育了最长时间,一度不舍得他降生的,心爱的小儿子,塔纳托斯。
他不会被宙斯管辖,倪克斯永远庇佑他。
塞勒涅下意识看那片夜色,辽远深邃,不见尽头,又格外温柔地笼罩在两位少年神身上的夜色。
她几乎是瞬间就做出了决断,答应下这桩交易,即便对方还没有开始提他的条件。
无论什么样的条件——
她想。
塞勒涅提起裙摆,高高在上的月亮女神低下自己的头颅,小心、又带着期盼地向他
