IMMORTALITY Throughout record history, immortality has been a human dream. In many religions, the gods are regarded as immortal, and history is littered with stories and myths of attempts by human rulers and heroes to be made immortal by gods. However, these myths reveal that most attempts fail, and even success does not always ensure happiness. According to Greek legend, Aurora, the goddess of dawn, provided her human husband Tithonus eternal life. However, she forgot to give him perpetual youth as well. As a result, Tithonus grew steadily older and weaker until he shriveled down to cricket. Even if eternal youth were granted along with immortality, perpetual existence could prove to be boring.
