Mors
Mors is the personification of death in Roman mythology. Mors is often depicted as a skeletal figure or a grim-reaper like entity, and is sometimes associated with the Greek god Thanatos.
Mythology[edit | edit source]
In Roman mythology, Mors is the son of Night and the brother of Somnus, the god of sleep. He is often depicted as a merciless figure who takes the lives of mortals. Despite his grim role, Mors is not considered an evil deity, but rather a natural part of life and the cycle of death and rebirth.
Cultural Influence[edit | edit source]
Mors has had a significant influence on Western culture, particularly in literature and art. He is often used as a symbol of mortality and the inevitability of death. In many works, Mors is depicted as a skeletal figure or a grim-reaper like entity, often carrying a scythe or an hourglass, symbols of the passing of time and the inevitability of death.
