Thanatos, the god of death in Greek mythology, is the son of the night god. He likes wearing a black cloak and holding a deadly sword, walking around the crowd's residence at night. In Greek mythology, there are not many stories about death. The most famous is the story of Sisyphus: According to Homer's epic, Sisyphus is the most resourceful and skillful man in the world. He was the builder and king of Corinth. When Zeus kidnapped Ajina, the daughter of Isop, the river god, and she went to Corinth to look for her daughter, Sisyphus, who knew about it, told him in exchange for a river that flowed all the year round. Because Zeus revealed his secret, Zeus sent a god of death to take him to hell. Unexpectedly, Sisyphus kidnapped a god of death, leaving no one dead in the world for a long time. Until death was rescued, Sisyphus was sent to the underworld. Before being thrown into the underworld, Sisyphus told his wife Merope not to bury his body. When he arrived in the underworld, Sisyphus told Persephone that an unburied person was not qualified to stay in the underworld, and took three days off to return to the sun to deal with his own affairs. Unexpectedly, as soon as Sisyphus saw the beautiful land, he didn't want to go back to hades. Until his death, Sisyphus was sentenced to accept the punishment of pushing stones up the mountain. He wants to push a big stone to the other side of the top of the mountain, but because of its weight, every time he pushes it to the top of the mountain, it will roll down again, and Sisyphus can only keep repeating it. Basically, this is a famous story in mythology and literature. 1957 albert camus, a French writer who won the Nobel Prize in Literature, once wrote a famous philosophical paper, The Myth of Sisyphus, which transformed Sisyphus into a tragic hero with thoughts and tragedies in human history. The power of death can only affect mortals. As an immortal being, God is not affected by death. So death often has to endure the hatred of mortals and the rejection of God. Death is also dominated by the three goddesses of fate. Of course, Death and Sleeping God are actually twins, but there is no first mate chapter about Death and Sleeping God twins in Western European mythology. The only thing that is clear is that the third generation gods are inseparable twins (the ancient Greeks thought that sleep and death were very similar) born of hypnos (Hypnos Romans called Somnus) and Thanatos, the second generation night god Nyx (the father of the god of death and the god of sleep was Eribus, the god of darkness). They worked together for Hades and Persephone. Speaking of the god of sleep, let's talk about Hypnos, the twin god of death: Hypnos is the third generation god in ancient Greek mythology more than 4,800 years ago. He is in charge of sleep and happiness and freedom, because those who can sleep peacefully are truly happy and comfortable, while those who can't sleep are miserable or dying. The sleeping god in Greek mythology is a winged god. When he waves his token or flaps his wings, people will fall asleep. There is also a saying about the image of the sleeping god, who always wears white clothes and holds a poppy in his hand. Anyone swept by poppies can sleep peacefully until dawn. Hypnos has a powerful ability to make people fall asleep, and even Zeus can't escape its power. In Homer's Iliad, Hera once coerced Hypnos to put Zeus into a complete sleep with her ability, and Hypnos did not dare to disobey. Zeus was very angry when he woke up and ordered Hypnos to enter the depths of heaven, which aroused the anger and dissatisfaction of Hypnos's mother, the night goddess Knicks. In addition, there is a legend that the god of sleep is the father of Morpheus, the god of sleep. Now that we are talking about death and sleeping god, let's talk about some stories about them! These two gods have different responsibilities: Sleeping God is the giver and great defender of people's physical and mental health; Death is the terminator of life and the enemy of mankind. Many human diseases often get better after a good night's sleep, but they may also get worse in the middle of the night and it is difficult to support them until dawn. "Because people who can sleep are happy and comfortable people. People who can't sleep are all people who suffer from death. " In Greek mythology, there is no temple for sleeping gods and death, because they are in charge of sleep and death, and their temples exist in the brain and human body. The mythical god of death and the god of sleep live in a cave by the Forgotten River. The forgotten river flows into the world from the bottom of the cave, and the banks of the river are covered with drowsy plants such as poppies. Next to their cave is the entrance to the underworld. The story about two gods: There is a capital in Tal talos, which is made of brass and surrounded by four closed brass gates. Hades, the king of Hades, ruled there. It's not only very dark here, but also very well guarded. The defeated Titan and Cronus were kept there, guarded by the cyclops and the monsters of Hecatonis. Outside the gates of hell, there are Cerberus, a three-headed dog. Its lower body is the tail of a snake, and its big mouth is full of poisonous saliva. When Cerberus barks at the same time, the sound is like thousands of thunder, which really makes people shudder. When someone comes to the road to hell, Cerberus always coquetry, sticking out its tongue and licking other people's hands. But if someone wants to escape from here, it will swallow him without hesitation. Nyx, the night god, and Milla, the sun god, met in hell. They always come in and out one by one, simply saying hello to each other. Hypnos, the god of sleep, Morpheus, his son, and Thanatos, the god of death. They are all sons of Nyx. Hypnos, the god of sleep, walks on the earth, and he can catch anyone he likes. Thanatos, Death, that's not true. He never catches anyone easily. Once he catches someone, he will never let go, because death has never had any pity, and he will definitely send the caught person to hell. There are two goddesses living in hell, Styx and Lether. Styx is the eldest daughter of oceanus. It is also in charge of Styx among the five rivers that flow through hell. Lett is the daughter of Eris, the goddess of dispute, and is in charge of the atonement river in Lett River. When there is a dispute between the gods, Zeus will send Eris to the Styx to pick up a bottle of river water, bring it back to Zeus, drink the river water and swear. If it breaks the oath, it will be forced to lie down for a year without breathing or eating. In the next nine years, PS: Let's talk about the god of death in Greek mythology. In fact, it is the two strongest subordinate gods of Hades in the chapter of the underworld of Saint saint seiya, that is, the two guys who crossed the sighing wall and reached the pure land in the west ... Anubis, the Egyptian god of death, is the god who helped the dead reach the underground world. According to legend, he was worshipped for inventing the method of making mummies. Egyptians believed that the god Anubis helped the dead to preserve their bodies so that they could be resurrected. The god Anubis is depicted as a man with a fox and a wolf's head, a theocracy. His symbol is black and white cowhide hanging on a pole and spattered with blood. Its meaning is still unclear. The god Anubis has three important characteristics. He is responsible for the methods of embalming corpses; He sent the mummies to the grave and took charge of their souls; More importantly, he protected the dead from deception and ensured that they could be resurrected. In the early history of Egypt, the god Anubis was called the god of death. Later this role was replaced by Osiris. Anubis is the son of Nefertis, and his father is Osiris. According to legend, Nefertis got Osiris drunk and gave birth to Anubis. Another way of saying it: Nefertis disguised himself as Isis to seduce Osiris and then gave birth to Anubis. Hassall (Het-Heru): The goddess of love and wealth, the most beautiful of all the ancient Egyptian goddesses, was turned into a bull. One of the oldest goddesses in Egypt, known as the goddess of the sky in Greek. She is often regarded as the wife of Horus, who is worshipped mainly in Edfu, just like Isis. In Thebes, it was once considered as a god of death, but it was generally regarded as the god of love, dance, wine and foreign countries. Death in Egypt is different from death in other places. Generally speaking, death is the most famous and worshipped god in Egypt, which can be said to be a god. Other deaths: Mutu: also known as Mott. Death, the god of the underworld, the god of chaos, the god of drought and crop failure. Is Barr's brother and main rival. From semitic mythology. There are not many legends about this dead god ... but I think it will be familiar to Baal's friends who like PC games. On the whole, Mutu is not very famous, but his strength can be said to be one of the stronger death! In fact, there are great differences between the eastern and western personalities about death. In China, the god of death, that is, the soul chaser, is usually either a bull's head or a horse's face, black and white, belonging to a lower level god. Not only that, he often takes bribes, which is a typical corruption and bribery. According to the above death stereotype, I personally think that Zhong Kui or Yan Luowang is the best person to die. In European mythology, death is a guy who will never show up with a sickle and cloak. This guy is the most common death representative in Devil City. However, in the west, this shape is a symbol of the low status of death. In fact, in the west, death is just a low-level god who leads the way. Its main purpose is to appear when people are dying, take people's souls with sickles and take them to the underworld. Death is only responsible for such things, and its duty is like an ox's head and a horse's face, black and white are impermanent! In fact, every culture has a different explanation of death. We will not find out the cause of death in Demon City except knowing people's preferences for various faiths. Of course, seeing so many deaths above also reveals the unique mystery of death to some extent. If you want to see the truth of this death, you can only find out in Devil City! There are all kinds of legends about death. Of course, the death in Demon City is different. With the evolution of the demon city, the awareness of death is getting higher and higher. I believe that soon the death of Demon City will no longer be mysterious. Of course, now we still have to explore the mysteries of those deaths ourselves. ...
