Endymion: The Man In The Moon is a play written by John Lyly and published in 1591. It is a romantic comedy that tells the story of Endymion, a young shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess, Cynthia. In order to win her love, Endymion seeks the help of the witch, Tellus, who gives him a potion that will make Cynthia fall in love with him. However, the potion also causes Endymion to fall into a deep sleep, and he is taken to the moon by Cynthia. While on the moon, Endymion meets various characters, including the goddess of love, Venus, and the god of sleep, Morpheus. The play is known for its poetic language and its exploration of themes such as love, desire, and the power of imagination.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
