Mene (Ancient Greek: Μήνη, romanized: Mḗnē, lit.
[1] The Greek word μήνη (mēnē) means both the Moon and the lunar month.
[2] It represents the feminine form of the older masculine noun μήν (mēn), which in turn derives from the oblique stem of the Indo-European word *meh₁nōt ("moon; month").
[5] Apostolos Athanassakis and Benjamin Wolkow speculate that Selene's name, which is derived from the word σέλας (selas, "light") and thus means "luminous one", might have originally developed as a euphemism, before becoming the Moon and its goddess's proper name.
