In ancient Greek religion, this was a way the gods made some physically immortal, including such figures as Cleitus, Ganymede, Menelaus, and Tithonus.

In another scholium, it is said that the Argonautica's account of Ganymede's abduction by an amorous Zeus ( Argonautica 3. 114 – 17 ) was also modelled on a version by Ibycus ( in Homer's earlier account, Zeus abducted the youth to be his wine-pourer: Iliad 20. 234 ), and that Ibycus, moreover, described the abduction of Tithonus by Dawn ( Eos ).

In Greek mythology, Tithonus or Tithonos () was the lover of Eos, Titan of the dawn, who was known in Roman mythology as Aurora.
