  • Eos is the goddess of dawn, and she asks Zeus to make her lover Tithonus live forever.

  • The issue is that Eos forgot to ask for eternal youth, so Tithonus lives forever but keeps aging. The solution is that he eventually turns into a grasshopper so he does not suffer as much.

  • The lesson from this myth is to be careful what you wish for and always think about the consequences.

  • One mistake I made was forgetting to save a school project, and I could not fix it so I had to start over.

  • If I could live forever and stop aging at a certain point, I would choose my twenties because people are usually healthy, strong, and independent then.
