Endymion in Wikipedia

In Greek mythology, Endymion[1] (Ancient Greek: Ἐνδυμίων, gen.: Ἐνδυμίωνος or Ενδυμίωνας) could have been a handsome Aeolian shepherd or hunter, or even a king who ruled and was said to reside at Olympia in Elis,[2] but he was also said to reside and was venerated on Mount Latmus in Caria, on the west coast of Asia Minor.[3] There is confusion over the true location of Endymion, as some sources suppose that one was, or was related to, the prince of Elis, and the other was a shepherd from Caria- or, a later suggestion, an astronomer: Pliny the Elder[4] mentions Endymion as the first human to observe the movements of the moon, which (according to Pliny) accounts for Endymion's love. As such, there have been two attributed sites of Endymion's burial: The citizens of Heracleia ad Latmo claimed that Endymion's tomb was on Mount Latmus, while the Eleans declared that it was at Olympia.[5]...
