Selene is the personification of the moon itself and a Titan moon goddess. Her brother being Helios. In Roman terms she is Luna and he Sol.

Hekate or Hecate as is the more common Latin spelling is a moon goddess in Greek Mythos as well. She is also a goddess of magick/witchcraft, crossroads and necromancy.

My personal favorite is Artemis. She is a moon goddess, an Olympian, archer, huntress, goddess of healing and music like her twin brother Apollon. The more common Latin/Roman spelling being Apollo as hers is in Roman terms Diana.

Do note there is also Bendis whom is also a moon goddess of Thrakian/Thracian origins whom is equated with either Artemis, Selene, or Hekate. I adamently believe she is just another name for Artemis but both are valid examples within the Greek text. Artemis with a closer examination and comparitasation simply makes more sense in my opinion for a multitude of reasons.
