Aurora in Wikipedia
Aurora is the Latin word for dawn, the goddess of dawn in
Roman mythology and Latin poetry. Aurora is comparable to
the Greek goddess Eos, though Aurora did not bring with her
any resonance of a greater archaic goddess. In Roman
mythology, Aurora, goddess of the dawn, renews herself every
morning and flies across the sky, announcing the arrival of
the sun. Her parentage was flexible: for Ovid, she could
equally be Pallantis, signifying the daughter of Pallas,[1]
or the daughter of Hyperion.[2] She has two siblings, a
brother (Sol, the sun) and a sister (Luna, the moon). Rarely
Roman writers[3] imitated Hesiod and later Greek poets and
made the Anemoi, or Winds, the offspring of the father of
the stars Astraeus, with Eos/Aurora.
Aurora appears most often in Latin poetry with one of her
mortal lovers. A myth taken from the Greek Eos by Roman
poets tells that one of her lovers was the prince of Troy,
Tithonus. Tithonus was a mortal, and would age and die.
Wanting to be with her lover for all eternity, Aurora asked
Zeus to grant immortality to Tithonus. Zeus granted her
wish, but she failed to ask for eternal youth for him and he
wound up aging eternally. Aurora turned him into a
grasshopper...
