Moros

Moros is the offspring of Nyx, the primordial goddess of the night. It is suggested by Gaius Julius Hyginus that Moros was sired by Erebus, primordial god of darkness. However, in Hesiod's Theogony it is suggested that Nyx bore him by herself, along with several of her other children.

Regardless of the presence or absence of Moros' father, this would make him the brother of the Moirai, or the Fates. Among his other siblings are Thanatos and the Keres, death spirits who represented the physical aspects of death—Keres being the bringers of violent death and terminal sickness, while Thanatos represents a more peaceful passing.

In Prometheus Bound, the titular Titan suggests that he gave humanity the spirit Elpis, meaning hope, in order to help them ignore the inevitability of Moros. He is also referred to as "the all-destroying god, who, even in the realm of Death, does not set his victim free," further supporting his image as representative of the inevitability of death and suffering.

Though Moros is not found to be depicted in Ancient Greek art, Moros does makes quiet a few appearances pop culture across all different types of media's and platforms. Moros Nyx is an American power metal band founded in 2014 that's songs focus on themes of sci-fi, politics, and revolution.[4] Moros Nyx is also the name of a staff in the action role playing video game Titan Quest.[5] Along with the staff there is also a blade named Moros Wish in the same game.[6]
