Endymion shrine
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: There is a shrine for Endymion. This is it. The Greeks thought this is where Zeus fell in love with cute Endymion. The latter had already had an affair with Zeus’ wife Hera. As a way out of this predicament Endymion wished for eternal youth as well as to be put into an eternal sleep. Zeus granted this, and from then on Endymion was visited each night by the Moon goddess Selene, who took a look at him in a grotto, covering him with kisses (and getting 50 daughters in the process). He had another “grave” in Olympia. Christians looked upon him as a mystic who heard Gods name from the Moon, then died. They opened his grave each year to gaze at the bones. That may be one reason why in Byzantine times the Latmos mountains were popular with monks. |
