Part 2 of Echo‘s biased god portraits

In Greek mythology, the Keres, singular Ker,were female death-spirits. They personified violent death and were drawn to bloody deaths on battlefields. Although they were present during death and dying, they did not have the power to kill. The Keres were daughters of Nyx, and as such the sisters of Thanatos, the god of peaceful death. Some later authorities, such as Cicero, called them by a Latin name, Tenebrae ("the Darknesses").
