Tithonus - Mythology. Greek The son of Laomedon, king of Troy, and brother of Priam. Eos, goddess of the dawn, loved him. She bore him a son, Memnon, one of the heroes of the Trojan War. Eos begged Zeus to make her husband immortal. Zeus granted her wish and Tithonus lived for a very long time. However, eternal youth was not given to him, and the young man became a shriveled old thing with little more than a strident voice. At last the gods took pity on him and turned him into a cicada.
