In Greek mythology, the celestial bodies are personified by various gods and goddesses, including Helios (the Sun), Selene (the Moon), and Astraea (the stars). These deities were believed to influence the natural world and human affairs. Helios, for example, drives the sun chariot across the sky, representing the passage of time and the cyclical nature of day and night. Selene’s luminous presence symbolizes the mysteries of the night and feminine qualities, while Astraea embodies justice and purity. This personification of celestial bodies reflects humanity's desire to understand and relate to the cosmos.
