Description:
In the realm of ancient Greek myth, Tithonus, a mortal man, was granted eternal life by the goddess Eos. However, she neglected to ask for eternal youth, and as centuries turned into millennia, Tithonus withered into a decrepit old man, trapped in an endless cycle of suffering.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson's haunting poem, "Tithonus," delves into the depths of this tragic tale, exploring the themes of mortality, the passage of time, and the bittersweet nature of immortality. Through Tithonus's poignant lamentations, Tennyson paints a vivid tapestry of a soul yearning for release from the relentless march of time.
