The image of the dead Thanatos is usually wearing a black cloak and holding a sickle.
Xu Punos, the god of sleep, usually walks on earth. He can arrest anyone he likes and will let him go soon. But death Thanatos is not like this. He never catches a person 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. The purpose of death Thanatos is to appear when people are dying, take their souls with sickles and take them to the underworld. His duty is like the bull's head and horse's face in China mythology or black and white impermanence. 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.
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.
