THE TALE OF THE MOON

THE TALE OF THE MOON

Long ago, when the Gods of Olympus were still living in the hearts of people, and the sky merged with the ground in a burst of harmony, living titans. Thanks to their brilliance daughter was born, whose name was Selena.

Messenger of the Gods, she lived on earth, to put things, and illuminates the world. At night, its lights were particularly strong, and the gods knew and saw what was happening in the world with the radiance of Selena. So she learned to be closer to the people.

One night, walking and illuminating the sea, Selena noticed a beautiful young man, who was walking along the shore. Madly in love Selena in a young man, and even brighter every night has to shine, gently caressing rays of his flame.

All that was happening on the ground, it was power over Titans. Angry with them for the love of man. "When the time comes, and Selena will reign on Mount Olympus, it is improper to give my love mere mortals" - they said.

And then the Titans caught up with Moore on the city, and drove the fish away from the coast.

Hard times came for the city, but the night lights dazzles and darilo hope settlers of the land. Every night, Selene lit up the city and the sea, and soon the fishermen began to go farther and farther away, knowing that the Light of Selena, as a beacon to lead back, and at night they do not get lost in the abyss of the sea.

Elder Ocean at that time was not God of the ocean, and that great river, which washed all the land around belonged to the Titans.

The young man, beloved Selena, along with other fishermen went into the ocean. And one day, titans send down a terrible storm on their boat, Selena lulled her singing titanidy ... And the ocean swallowed the sailors.
Selena woke up the next morning, and saw the sailors, who were to return with a catch. I began to look for them, but was never able to find ... Then Selena harnessed his chariot, and ascended to the gods on Olympus. For Gods can be seen all .... even though she knew that to return to the land will now be impossible.

Soon Selena boy found dead in sea. In answer to her prayers the gods bring it to life, but eternal sleep filled his soul.

Every night, Selena appeared in his cave, admiring its beauty, and gently caressed his tender body. Births from her caresses 50 children - 50 lunar months of the Olympic cycle.
And every night crying Selena that he would never know about her love of children, and will sleep forever.

As punishment for his carelessness Selena promised that each night will cover everything that people find your way home ... Selena lit and the stars, which at that time belonged to the Gods of Olympus. Became a star to shine, showing the map overnight travelers.

And even now every night shines shining eyes of the night, Selena leads the stars, spreading the celestial map, highlighting travelers and mariners way to the house in memory of eternal love ...
