Tithonus /tɪˈθoʊnəs/ (Ancient Greek: Τιθωνός) was the lover of Eos. Eos asked Zeus to make Tithonus immortal, she forgot to ask for eternal youth. In later tellings Tithonus eventually turned into a cicada, eternally living, but begging for death to overcome him. Eos bore Tithonus two sons, Memnon and Emathion.
