... Compare and Contrast Ulysses and Tithonus Josh Benson LSM ww Ulysses and Tithonus are narrated by two men, who are both very much unhappy. They both want different to change but want contrasting things. Inevitably though each wish they have is most likely to end up in death. Tithonus was a handsome man in his youth and this got him the love of a goddess Dawn. This drove him to ask her to grant him the gift of immortality. However Tithonus was casual in his demands and forgot to ask for eternal youth, the thing he really craved. Tithonus thought he was special and wanted to be different from other people and continue to have Dawn's love. By the time Tithonus has grown old he can't feel her love anymore and wishes to be the same as the people he envies. He just wants to get back the power to die
