== Family == Moros is the offspring of [[Nyx]], the [[Greek primordial deities|primordial goddess]] of the night. It is suggested by Roman authors that Moros was son of [[Erebus]], primordial god of darkness.<ref>Hyginus, ''Fabulae'' Preface; Cicero, ''De Natura Deorum'' 3.17</ref> However, in [[Theogony|Hesiod's Theogony]] it is suggested that Nyx [[Virgin birth (mythology)|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 illness|terminal sickness]], while Thanatos represents a more peaceful passing.
