(by the way this was part of a bibliography project I did at school and I am reserving all rights) It is believed that morning dew is Aurora's tears as she flies across the sky, weeping for her son who was killed. Another sad part of her life, is the time when she asked Zeus to grant one of her many husbands, Tithonus, imortality and forgot to ask for everlasting youth. As a result, Tithonus soon aged and became a grasshopper, but could not die. Like many roman gods and goddess’, Aurora had gotten cursed by Aphrodite, the curse was falling in love with a train of mortals such as Kephalos and Kleitos.
