In his poem they are ugly, even though they will grow to be beautiful ( "Kwestia Smaku"). The 20th-century Polish poet Zbigniew Herbert wrote about Aurōra's grandchildren. In Chapter 8 of Charlotte Brontë's Villette, Madame Beck fires her old Governess first thing in the morning and is described by the narrator, Lucy Snowe: All this, I say, was done between the moment of Madame Beck's issuing like Aurōra from her chamber, and that in which she coolly sat down to pour out her first cup of coffee. Jupiter granted her wish, but she failed to ask for eternal youth to accompany his immortality, and he continued to age, eventually becoming forever old. Wanting to be with her lover for all eternity, Aurōra asked Jupiter to grant immortality to Tithonus. Tithonus was a mortal, and would therefore age and die. A myth taken from the Greek by Roman poets tells that one of her lovers was the prince of Troy, Tithonus. Roman writers rarely imitated Hesiod and later Greek poets by naming Aurōra as the mother of the Anemoi (the Winds), who were the offspring of Astraeus, the father of the stars.Īurōra appears most often in sexual poetry with one of her mortal lovers. She has two siblings, a brother ( Sol, the Sun) and a sister ( Luna, the Moon). Her parentage was flexible: for Ovid, she could equally be Pallantis, signifying the daughter of Pallas, or the daughter of Hyperion. In Roman mythology, Aurōra renews herself every morning and flies across the sky, announcing the arrival of the Sun. It has cognates in the goddesses Ēṓs, Uṣas, Aušrinė, Auseklis and Ēastre. Like Greek Eos and Rigvedic Ushas, Aurōra continues the name of an earlier Indo-European dawn goddess, Hausos.Īurōra stems from Proto-Italic *ausōs, and ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h aéusōs, the "dawn" conceived as divine entity. L'Aurore by William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1881)Īurōra ( Latin: ) is the Latin word for dawn, and the goddess of dawn in Roman mythology and Latin poetry.
