Three paintings showing three deities of Greek mythology as personifications of the times of the day. As the goddess of the moon, Selene captivated the hearts of ancient poets, authors, and orators, becoming as much a symbol of the glorious night as the proverbial light in the darkness.
With silver wings and a golden diadem, the goddess Selene shone brightly throughout the lands of ancient Greece.
