Summary:: -- 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, or the daughter of Hyperion.
She has two siblings, a brother Sol, and a sister Luna. Rarely Roman writers imitated Hesiod and later Greek poets and named Aurora as the mother of the Anemoi ,
who were the offspring of Astraeus, the father of the stars . Aurora appears most often in sexual poetry with one of her mortal lovers.
A myth taken from the Greek by Roman poets tells that one of her lovers was the prince of Troy, Tithonus. Tithonus was a mortal, and would
therefore age and die. Wanting to be with her lover for all eternity, Aurora asked Jupiter to grant immortality to Tithonus.
Jupiter granted her wish, but she failed to ask for eternal youth to accompany his immortality, and he became forever old. Aurora turned him into a grasshopper.
