The meaning behind this tattoo is multi-layered. I’m sure you can guess some parts. One you might not know is drawn from Homer’s Iliad (opening of Book 11). This line has resonated with me from the very first time I read the Iliad, and it still warms my heart and soul each time I reread it. (This is from Emily Wilson’s translation, one of my top three translations of this work.)
Then Dawn arose from bed beside Tithonus to bring new light to deathless gods and mortals”
I loved this line before I even chose my name. Maybe that helped direct me to it.
