The honest short form: one wired witness, three sentences long. In the Aetolian genealogies, Endymion, founder of Elis, is loved for his beauty: "the Moon fell in love with him", and Zeus granted him one wish; "he chose to sleep for ever, remaining deathless and ageless" [The Library (Bibliotheca), BOOK I, ch. VII]. That is the whole event on our shelf — no wooing scenes, no children, no rivals; the mortal's answer to a goddess's desire is permanent, beautiful unavailability, and the genealogy moves on to his son within a sentence. Frazer's note adds only that "The eternal sleep of Endymion was proverbial" [ibid., editor's note]. Thompson's Estonian (Loorits) and North American rows are parsed but unresolved; until they are wired, the moon-as-wooer holds a single Greek couple — the wooer forever awake, the beloved forever asleep.
