Aurora - the goddess of the Dawn - begged Jove to grant her mortal lover Tithonus the gift of eternal life. Jove granted the request, but Aurora had not asked for the gift of eternal youth.
Tithonus got older and older, but could never die: weak, crippled, and blind his life became a painful burden to him.
Tennyson's poem reminds us that the gift of youth is for the young alone, and that this is how it has always been, and even how it should be.

Tithonous is a dramatic monologue on a classical subject. All through the poem ,Tithonous speaks of his life and experience.
The tone of the poem is elagic. Tithonous has grown old, "a white hair'd shadow roaming like a dream." He does no longer have his previous gory, he is a mere shadow of his former self, while EOS still continues to be young and beautiful.Pathetically,he exclaims that he is "immortal age beside immortal youth".

There are some rules of life which should be followed by everyone. Everyone should be administered/governed by the ordinances that rule all men. If one breaks this rule he must suffer. Tithonus wanted to be immortal but he didn't remember that immortality without youth is useless. By asking for immortality, death couldn't touch him but time (sister of Eros/Aurora) took revenge for death from Tithonus. Time made him so weak that he was no worthier than dust. Thus the summary of this poem is that each and every man should abide by the rules of nature.
The poems 'Tithonus', 'Morte d'Arthur' , 'Ulysses' and 'Tiresias' were written by Tennyson following the death of his bosom friend Arthur Henry Hallam. 'Tithonus' is greatly influenced by the death that it expresses his emotional injury on the incident. He tries to philosophies the truth of death to console himself.In Greek mythology, a human, Tithonus falls in love with the Goddess of Dawn, Aurora also known as Eos. The goddess pleads to Zeus The King of Gods to grand Tithonus immortality. But she forgets to ask immortal youth and Zeus instantly grands immortality but without immortal youth. Time,companion to Dawn is jealous with the relation and takes revenge on Tithonus by crippling him into the extreme old age as time passes. Yet, he cannot die as he is an immortal.
In the poem,but Tennyson assumes that Eos had granted the gift of immortality to Tithonus which makes Tennyson's Tithonus different from the mythology.Here, Tithonus is old and ugly like a shadow with white hair while Eos is still young and beautiful and he is shattered by the thought that being extremely old and weak he can no longer be husband to the goddess and wants to die like all men. But he cannot die as he is an immortal and now he wants the gift of immortality to be taken back.But once a gift granted by the Gods cannot be taken back and Eos have only tears for the struggles of Tithonus.She cries and runs off without being able to answer him.He remembers the first time they met when he was young and strong. Her kisses and love were warm and full of passion.But now, her eyes are filled with tears of love and pain seeing the pitiful sufferings of her husband and her tears fall on his cheek as she leaves weeping.He says that Hours, companion to Dawn was jealous to their relation and as it passed made him ugly,weak and maimed by old age. Tithonus says that death is a gift to man who can live and die happily.He is born in the soil,works in the soil and after death is buried in the soil.The woods decay and fall,the swan dies but only Tithonus is decaying in the cruel hands of immortality unable to die. He says that no man should desire immortality as they might have to suffer his fate.He pleads to Eos to let him go free from the East where Dawn dwells to the land of happy men who have the power to die.He says that if she would change him back to a mortal he would happily go and die to dissolve in the soil.She can forget him and him her and that he would happier be dead.The poem is a dramatic monologue where Eos is the mute listener.

Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite, when Eos asked Zeus to make Tithonus immortal she forgot to ask for eternal youth (218-38). Tithonus indeed lived forever
"but when loathsome old age pressed full upon him, and he could not move nor lift his limbs, this seemed to her in her heart the best counsel: she laid him in a room and put to the shining doors. There he babbles endlessly, and no more has strength at all, such as once he had in his supple limbs. (Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite)"
In later tellings he eventually turned into a cicada, eternally living, but begging for death to overcome him.In the Olympian system, the "queenly" and "golden-throned" Eos can no longer grant immortality to her lover as Selene had done, but must ask it of Zeus, as a boon.

Aurora, in spite of her name, was not exactly the bright type.
She asked Zeus to grant Tithonus, her mortal lover, eternal life. Zeus accepted. But Aurora forgot to mention that she'd also like her lover to be granted eternal youth...
So Tithon went on living and on growing old. He became so old and so weak that he could hardly move anymore. He became a parched, immobile object - only his voice remained.
Aurora, taking pity on him, turned him into a grasshopper to end his suffering.
And every morning, grasshoppers now sing their love for the goddess of Dawn.

Tithonus aged when Eos asked Zeus to give him immortality but she forgot to ask to give him eternal youth, he eventually turned into a cicada.
In reality, Turritopsis nutricula does not age as that is what keeps them immortal they rejuvenate stem cells by transdifferentiation which turns them back to polyp stage, as they have infinite supply of stem cells their telomeres cannot shorten and therefore never dying of old age.

The character's name was "Tithonus", the lover of the goddess Eos, who begged Zeus to make her lover immortal. Zeus agreed - but since she didn't ask for him to have eternal youth as well, he just got older and older and older...until he finally turn into a cicada, which physically resembles a grasshopper enough that it's easier to tell modern audiences he turned into a grasshopper.

Cosmic efficacy refers to the belief in the effectiveness and power of the cosmos or universe in influencing human affairs. Tithonicity is the state of reverence or worship toward the rising sun, stemming from the Greek mythology of Tithonus, the lover of the dawn goddess Eos.
