I don't care what religion. I'm just curious if there is a god of Eternal Youth. It could be a dead religion like some kind of ancient greek or roman religion, or something.
I would prefer a more well known god/goddess name. I wish i could think of one, but oh well.
Please help..
Thanks

Hebe is a Greek goddess of youth. I think in one myth she grants a man youth for a day, but its not eternal.
There is also sea nymph in Greek mythology who was named Calypso. In the Odyssey, she offers eternal youth to Odysseus while he is stranded on her isle. Once he leaves the isle to return to his faithul wife Penelope, he ages normally again.
That's probably the closest you can get to a deity of eternal youth. I don't think there is a deity of eternal youth.

There are those Gods who have given eternal youth to mortals, but the price has been high. If I remember correctly the age of several of the requesters' minds were reversed to the age of 3 and the body to the age of eighty.
Possibly, Alzheimers disease is not the only perpetrator of doing such in present times.

In Greek mythology Hebe, daughter of Zeus and Hera, was the goddess of eternal youth, who served the gods at their feasts with ambrosia (which means "immortality") and nectar.
She also bestowed eternal youth on mortals made gods.

In Norse mythology, Idunn was the goddess of youth, who kept the magical apples which promoted eternal youth in the gods.

The ancient Greek goddess HEBE ('Ηβη), daughter of Zeus and Hera.
Hebe was the goddess of youth and the cupbearer of the gods who served ambrosia at the Olympian feasts. She was also the patron goddess of the young bride.
Hebe was often portrayed as an attendant of the bridal Aphrodite.
Hercules (Herakles) received Hebe in marriage upon his ascension to Olympus, and in this manner became reconciled with her mother Hera.
In ancient Greek vase painting Hebe was often depicted as a winged goddess pouring ambrosia from a pitcher.

Yes, there are actually several:
• Adonis, Aphrodite's lover turned demigod of eternal youth
• Endymion, another Greek god of eternal youth and fertility (the moon goddess Selene was so smitten with Endymion's beauty that she put him into a perpetual sleep so that she could kiss him whenever she wished)
• Eostre, Celtic goddess of spring, rebirth and youth (we got Easter from her name and festival)
• Hebe, cupbearer to the Greek gods, is the goddess of eternal youth.
• Keb-Ho-Uet, Egyptian goddess of eternal youth, which she bestowed on only the lucky in the form of an elixir they drank
• Pan is sometimes considered a Greek demigod of eternal youth
• Vasantha, the Hindu god of eternal youth

Eostara, or Easter, is the goddess of spring and life from death. She is life coming out of the death of winter, so she is eternally youngish. Idunn is the goddess that guards the tree with the golden apples that grant immortality, so she's probably young forever too. Idunn fits the bill best. They're both Norse.

I believe that an eternal existence after death would be akin to eternal youth

In Norse mythology, Idunna possesses the apples of immortality, but they are reserved for the Aesir and Vanir.
