------
In classical mythology, Endymion was a young man who, while sleeping in the mountains, was unsuspectingly kissed by the Moon Goddess Diana, who was so taken by his beauty that it warmed her cold heart. When the moon sinks down behind the mountain, it is Diana bending down to kiss Endymion. - Summary by ~ Michele Fry
