	Tithonus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Tithonus is also the name of an important poem by Alfred Tennyson, first written as Tithon in 1833 and completed in 1859.

		According to myth, Tithonus is the brother of Priam, King of Troy, and was loved by Aurora, the immortal goddess of the dawn, who had a habit of carrying off the beautiful young men whom she fancied.

	Essay or Coursework - Write an essay on Tithonus: how far does Tennyson convey the experience of Tithonus?
		I think that this is a result of Tennyson's post-Romantic attitude: moving on from conventional Romantic poetry that looks at the worth of the individual, Tithonus, as a post-romantic poem, looks at this fallacy, showing us the consequences of trying to surpass the fading "arch" described in Ulysses.
		Tithonus is of course a self-obsessed character, and there are mythological and medieval allusions so the poem has Romantic aspects but the tone of the poem is darker.
		Tithonus describes himself as a silhouette, calling himself a "white-hair'd shadow," and says, "rosy shadows bathe me." This image is particularly important, because it suggests that he has somehow assimilated himself with nature, blending into the sky but the true nature of the comparison emerges when his suffering is described.

		The immortal Tithonus lives forever like thought without substance in "Tithonus" (1860) by Tennyson.
		Because Eos forgot to obtain for him the gift of immortal youth, his body withers and deteriorates, and he becomes a shadow, a dream of what he once was.
		Therefore, both Tithonus and Coleridge express a longing for the past and a dissatisfaction for the present conditions.
