| Tithonus, the story from greek mythology?
If you've heard of the story Tithonus you know it's about an immortal who is in love with the goddess Eos. He recieves immmortal life either through Zeus, after Eos asks in one story and through Eos asked by Tithonus in another story. I've found more differences in the two stories. One Tithonus withers into a cicada and another Eos turns him into a grasshopper. Are there two different stories because one is greek mythology and then Tennyson, the poet, tweaked some things for his poem? If so, then are the only difference between the two are what I stated above? I can't find any clear information on this online. |
