jackhutton 🇺🇸Tithonus and Eos - Simon Julien (1735-1800)
“Then Dawn rose up from bed with Lord Tithonus,”
Tithonus (ti-thoh´-nus): a son of Laomedon and the brother of Priam. He was abducted by Dawn to be her lover. According to legend, Dawn requested immortality for Tithonus but not eternal youth, so he aged and wasted away until only his voice was heard, chirping like a grasshopper. In some versions of the myth he was transformed into a cicada or grasshopper.
