Detail of Roman sarcophagus depicting the myth of Selene and Endymion: "Selene, the moon goddess, alights from her chariot to visit
her beloved, the shepherd Endymion, who reclines at the right. Endymion, most beautiful of men, has been granted eternal youth and
eternal sleep. The female figure stands over him, pouring out the magic portion of immortality and holding a sleep-inducing poppy."
