It's the Day of Selene / Luna's Day / #Monday! 🌛
"Against Mene the moon I [Helios the Sun] move my rolling ball, the sparkling nourisher of sheaf-producing growth, and pass on my endless circuit about the turning-point of the Zodiac, creating the measures of time."
Nonnus, Dionysiaca 38.244

Bronze figurine of Diana-Selene. The goddess wears a crescent-moon ornament in her hair.

The goddess (personification of the Moon) is wearing a sleeveless, high-girded peplos, which gathers on her breasts and legs revealing her figure, and then gathers at the hem and in the folds that fall alongside her, pushed by the impetus…

"Rosy-fingered Selene (the Moon) after sunset, surpasssing all the stars, and her light spreads alike over the salt sea and the flowery fields; the dew is shed in beauty, and roses bloom and tender chervil and flowery melilot."
#Sappho

Two photos of a marble head of Luna, the goddess of the moon, with abundant wavy center-parted hair pulled up loosely into a top-knot fronted by her iconic lunar crescent attribute. They are gathered into a chignon in back. Her oval face has a smooth spade-shaped forehead merging with the bridge of her slender nose, her lidded eyes unarticulated, her small mouth with bow-shaped lips.
