Answer: John Keats
“Endymion” is a poem written by famous poet John Keats. It was first published in 1818 by Taylor and Hessey of Fleet Street in London. Poet, John Keats dedicated this poem to the late poet Thomas Chatterton. Endymion is written in rhyming couplets.
The poem is based on the Greek myth of Endymion, the shepherd beloved of the moon goddess Selene. The poem elaborates on the original story and renames Selene “Cynthia”
Endymion, which is divided into four books, starts with giving readers an idea of a rustic scene of trees, rivers, shepherds, and sheep. The shepherds gather around an altar and pray to Pan, god of shepherds and flocks. The youth in the region sing, dance, and play while the elderly discuss how life would be in the shades of Elysium. However, Endymion, the “brain-sick shepherd-prince” is not participating in their discourse. His sister, Peona, takes him away and brings him to her resting place where he sleeps. After he wakes, he tells Peona of his encounter with Cynthia, and how much he loved her.
