Thanatos
In Greek mythology, Thanatos (; Ancient Greek: Θάνατος, pronounced in Ancient Greek: [tʰánatos] "Death", from θνῄσκω thnēskō "(I) die, am dying") was the personification of death. He was a minor figure in Greek mythology, often referred to but rarely appearing in person.
His name is transliterated in Latin as Thanatus, but his counterpart in Roman mythology is Mors or Letum.
Examples of use of Thanatos
1. Eros and thanatos÷ the instinct for life and the instinct for death.
2. Sigmund Freud called it thanatos, the death instinct, the impulse to destroy, which is sometimes so strong that we don‘t mind if we too are destroyed in the process.
