 Moon figures are found on Cretan rings and gems (perhaps indicating a Minoan moon cult), but apart from the role played by the moon itself in magic, folklore, and poetry, and despite the later worship of the Phrygian moon-god Men, there was relatively little worship of Selene.An oracular sanctuary existed near Thalamai in Laconia.Described by Pausanias, it contained statues of Pasiphaë and Helios.
