Diana and Endymion Black and White

In Greek mythology, the moon goddess, Selene, drives her moon chariot across the heavens, although she was also regarded as the personification of the Moon itself. Selene is best known for her affair with the beautiful mortal Endymion, the young shepherd who used to sleep on a mountain, and with whom she had fifty daughters. The late 7th-century – early 6th-century BC poet Sappho had apparently already mentioned Selene and Endymion's history. In Roman mythology, Diana has the attributes of Selene and she was mentioned as the goddess who falls in love with Endymion. Both goddesses were regarded as lunar goddesses, except for the fact that in Roman mythology, Diana became a virgin goddess.

A black and white photograph of a classical statue on a pedestal depicts two human forms intertwined in a dynamic pose, surrounded by lush greenery with a prominent palm tree in the background. The sculpture appears to be dramatically lit, casting strong shadows and highlighting the intricate details of the figures.
