Moros

Moros (Greek: Μόρος, English: doom, fate) is the god of doom.

He manifested as a shapeless being that drove mortals to their death or doom. He was the son of Nyx who created him without male intervention. In a sense he was also the spirit of depression. Moros is also the older brother and leader of the The Moirae. Moros wrote the destination; the Fates made sure that it came true, and shortly afterwards, chaos was integrated into the cosmos for mortals and gods that could escape on occasion of his own destiny. It was even proclaimed by the Moirae that not even Zeus could prevent his fate from becoming reality. In which case, he was the only force that Zeus dreaded. Because of this, Moros was considered to be omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. Aeschylus describes how Prometheus saved mankind from the misery of seeing their doom (Moros) with the gift of hope (Elpis). Moros' siblings Thanatos and Ker represented the physical aspects of death--Ker was the bringer of violent death and killing sickness, while Thanatos represented a peaceful, passing away.

Trivia

• Moros is largely blotted out of mythology or hardly mentioned ever since he was obscured from the perception of humanity, thanks to the gift of hope Prometheus and Elpis set in motion. From that point on, his younger sisters carried on larger roles in deciding fate though he still existed nonetheless.
• Moros' name is also the origin for the word "morose", meaning sullen, ill-humored or gloomy. The word is used to describe the victims of whom he revealed their fates to.
