In Greek mythology Tithonos (Τιθωνός) was a son of Eos and Cephalus. The name of Eos’ lover Tithonus is also sometimes spelled Tithonos. He is mentioned in Book Eleven of The Iliad as the haughty Tithonos by whom Eos slept (Richard Lattimore translation). In this instance he is most likely Eos’s lover and not her son. He is also mentioned in Book Five of The Odyssey as a lord and Eos his lady.
