Origin[]

Tithonus, a Trojan prince, was the lover of Aurora, the goddess of the dawn. Because he was mortal, Aurora knew he would die one day. To prevent this she begged Jupiter to make Tithonus immortal, though she forgot to ask for eternal youth. Tithonus grew older and older until he withered into a grasshopper.

Effects[]

Strumming the strings of the lyre allows the user to summon swarms of grasshoppers and control them. Using said powers will cause the user to rapidly age.
