The Greeks honored Selene, the goddess of the moon, through various rituals and festivals, often celebrating her during the full moon. She was depicted in art and literature as a beautiful woman driving a chariot across the night sky. Temples and altars were dedicated to her, where offerings such as incense and libations were made to seek her favor. Additionally, Selene was associated with lunar cycles, influencing agricultural practices and timing of events in Greek culture.
