What does death mean?

The meaning of death: superstition refers to the god who is in charge of human death, and is often used as a metaphor.

Death is a god of death in ancient Greek mythology and lives in hades. Death often wears a black cloak and holds a huge sickle in his hand. Ruled by hades. In ancient people's imagination, sleep and death are twin brothers. Hesiod believes that they are all children at night, and they all live in the underworld. They came to the ground from hades and quietly approached people in the world.

In the west, people usually call machetes sickles. In Greek mythology, Cronus cut off the genitals of his father, the primitive god Uranus, with a sickle. Later, the former was defeated by his son Zeus' lightning and was deposed and exiled.

Role experience:

Sleep is a gentle and friendly god, and death is cruel, which is mainly the further assumption of sleep and death by later poets and artists. In addition, people completely separate death from sleep in an unfriendly way, or they imagine the cruel god of death as a goddess with a very horrible appearance, that is, Kern (originally just the soul of the deceased).

Or imagine Apollo and themis in heaven, and Plauto and Persephone in hades as death. The Romans also introduced an Etruscan personified death, which they called Orcus, and imagined as a fully armed soldier, killing human beings. All these death, whether in worship or in the art world, have no far-reaching significance.

The art world tries to alleviate the terrible image of death, which makes Ta Natus (death) and his brother Hypnos (sleep) more and more similar.
