Abstract

"Selene" is a piece that follows the ancient Greek tale of Selene and Endymion. Selene is regarded as the Greek goddess of the moon and requests that her mortal lover, Endymion, be placed in a forever sleep—so that she can visit him nightly as she carries the moon through the sky. "Selene" touches on mortality and fears of abandonment, ultimately describing how relationships can push us to sacrifice our independence.
