Tithonos

Tithonos [r]: From Greek mythology, he was a human and a Trojan who was loved by the goddess Eos, who granted him eternal life but didn't grant him eternal youth; as a result, he becomes older and older forever, becoming more decrepit and infirm, and who eventually pleaded for death. The tale illustrates the differences between humans and gods. ^[e]
