Selene Interactions | Hades 2 Technical Testing

The Moon Incarnate was entrusted from Mother Nyx to watch over their respective domains. When Night was threatened by the Titan of Time, it was only natural Selene would come to aid as one of the Silver Sisters. May Moonlight guide us all.
Disclaimer: It's possible I missed some Selene dialogue. If that's the case, I either missed them or didn't think they were important (whoopsies, but not sorry).

"There is no such thing as a benevolent Titan" Selene: exists Me: spitting cereal meme

[@CrazyMattLine]

"Gaia is among them, but unlike the others, she is not a destructive force" "She can help us?" "She already is."

[@merlinofavalon389]

this whole witchcrafty and Silver Sisters plot is SO nice to see, I'm so hyped for more of Selene and her interactions with Demeter, hera and Hestia, since they are sisters in the Hades universe

[@lupan1835]

Helios and Eos too.

[@Hamstir4]

The Silver Sisters is such cool concepts! What an opportunity to bring these heavy players together. A secret team where each compliment each other, united to take down an ultimate foe. Chronos may see the pieces, but he does not see the whole.

[@tiffanychan9627]

A detail I noticed then realized, while not only all the Silver Sisters share Moon-themed accessories/associations, that the orange, green, black and light blue(periwinkle) cord/pattern is present in the following: cord/belt around Artemis' waist, underline moon/horns on the sides of Selene's helmet/headdress, and wrapped around the cauldron used both by Hecate and Melinoe. Maybe the each color represents each sister: orange for Melinoe(her usual dress), green for Artemis (her theme color), light blue for Selene(her theme color and dress), and black for Hecate(pretty close to her theme color /dark metal accessories or to associate with nighttime being the prime time for magic)

[@twilightfire93]

Meli has a cord wrapped around her left thigh, and Hecate has it lining the crown of her hat!

[@tiffanychan9627]

There is also that cord hanging from the ceiling/walls of the Crossroads

[@northsouteastwesk3435]

"Our cycles are now intertwined" Selene's a girl's girl iktr

[@hrpang]

Selene watches over us all from night huh? So she was always there. My true mentor, my guiding moonlight.

[@Hamstir4]

Comforting to know if you feel ever alone ^

[@Ph0t_0w0]

The moon? The ghost? The spider? The answer is yes.

[@falconeshield]

The winged boy? The antler boy? The grapey b-, na, not Apollo. Arthemis for teh win! Also, always yes. Wait is the ghost Dora?

[@whydidntiriswin]

"Speaking drains me of my light", As an introvert I understand XD

[@I_Xeros]

Let me just say that her voise is so beautiful!

[@Hamstir4]

Her voice is very gentle, you wouldn't guess how powerful she really is. I also would like to think she achieved some sort of enlightenment, with her content in hiding her true power.

[@antonissa8345]

I wonder if she will ever reference Endymion. You know... her most famous myth

[@Slothgreedenvy]

Hypnos gave Endymion eternal sleep to remain young. He can sleep, walk, sleep with eyes open, and sleep talk. They have fifty daughters

[@falconeshield]

Oblig Sailor Moon reference

[@hjt091]

Fun fact: in older versions of his myth, Selene and Endymion are Narcissus's parents

[@SAmaryllis]

I love her voice! Elegant, gentle, and powerful 😊

[@fleuron9670]

ii wonder who counts as the silver sisters. selene, artemis, melinoe, and hermes? or maybe hecate?

[@aceplayer8684]

Probably Hecate as the last one, she, like the others you listed, has moon symbols on her clothes

[@MrLarxene]

Whoever has a moon symbol, it’s part of the silver sisterhood

[@Mauricio0973]

Hecate and Artemis are considered lunar goddesses in real life myths with Selene being moon incarnate, and Melinöe is sometimes conflated with Hecate, which implies these four are the Silver Sisters

[@badrinath5306]

Hermes lol? Really??

[@misspoppyseed3909]

@@badrinath5306Hermes apparently is part of the group that Olympus doesn’t know about since Selene mentions the Messenger- which is Hermes.

[@Slothgreedenvy]

3:17 Oh, interetting that selene watched Odysseus when she was out at night.

[@falconeshield]

Knowing the tale she probably fancies him when alive.

[@Hamstir4]

@@falconeshield must’ve been quite the show from above.

[@hjt091]

Helios was called "All-Seeing" by the Ancient Greeks, and the myths about him generally revolve around him knowing *everything* that happens on Earth, by dint of him being in the sky all day and, y'know, seeing it all happen. IDK if the same lore applied to Selene in the myths but it would make sense.

[@jwilsthem.c3780]

Makes me wonder if there's sunlight deities that form a Unit? Like Apollo, Helios, Hemera *she's daylight and also one of Nyx's children* not sure who the 4th would be maybe Theia?

[@Hamstir4]

I think it would be cool, always wondered what happened to Helios. But Silver Sisters' purpose was for the downfall of Chronos. Wonder what a sunlight team would be formed for?

[@ultimate9056]

​@@Hamstir4allot of later versions of Greek mythology (sometime before the Romans adapted it for the their own mythology) don't include Helios and instead have Apollo as the person responsible for riding the sun chariot. Given Apollo's dark skin in this game combined with a certain other greek myth involving the sun chatiot flying too close to the ground around the equator makes me beleive this is the interpretation Hades 2 has decided to go with

[@Hamstir4]

@@ultimate9056 See, I would've thought that too with Selene, but she exists alongside Artemis. Although I do think Helios has it rougher than Selene. It's possible! All we need is one mention of Helios in the game.

[@AhmedBalahim]

I hope Selene and Narcissus interacts because according to some myths he is the son of Selene and Endymion

[@Hamstir4]

whistle* seriously? gotta try taking her Keepsaketo him then

[@Slothgreedenvy]

Inlove it more, cause Demeter Hera and Hestia are selene's sisters here. So, Melinoe is her niece and she's her aunt

[@Hamstir4]

Hmmm! I’d wish to see more dynamic between the sisters.

[@mikhailthegreatestdragon3627]

Don't you mean niece?

[@Hamstir4]

@@mikhailthegreatestdragon3627You know you're right, but I fixed it myself in my head lmao

[@raistlin3462]

Hey, isn't her VA Megaera's as well?

[@Hamstir4]

Apparently not, Avalon Penrose is Meg's while Sarah Grayson voices Selene. I can see it tho ^

[@italoa.9168]

"moonlight gui-- ugh. sorry. Habit." "hmm" that was so cute 🥲

[@viviblue7277]

It’s such a fun little awkward detail.

[@Hamstir4]

Selene’s too precious to find that offensive, just “hmm. No comment.”
