He was pretty good at it
In the end they were outnumbered and lost

Because of this spell, Eos had many affairs with mortal men
Tithonus (prince of troy) = Memnon
Memnon became king of the Ethiopians and one of the heroes of the Trojan war
Eos wanted Tithonus to become immortal like her, so she went to Zeus
He granted this but she didn’t ask for eternal youth, so he got old
She still loved him, but thought he was gross so she only nurtured him as he got old
Once he got old and shriveled, all he did was babble on for eternity
Cephalus
She tricked him into being with her
He was already married and didn’t want to cheat on his wife
He went to Artemis (Goddess of war)
