Best Answer

In early Greek mythology, the god of death was Thánatos, and according to the Greek poet Hesiod, he was "the son of Nyx (Night) and Erebos (Darkness) as well as the twin of Hypnos (Sleep)." The Greeks also differentiated between non-violent death, which was what Thánatos controlled, and death caused by violence-- which was under the control of his blood-thirsty sisters, called the Keres.
