“Endymion the shepherd,As his flock he guarded,She, the Moon, Selene,Saw him, loved him, sought him,Coming down from heavenTo the glade on Latmus,Kissed him, lay beside him.Blessed is his fortune.Evermore he slumbers,Tossing not nor turning,Endymion the shepherd.” From the third-century poet Theocritus.
