Editing Moros (section)

=== Aeschylus' account ===
Aeschylus, Fragment 199 (from Plutarch, Life and Poety of Homer 157) (trans. Weir Smyth):

"A man dies not for the many wounds that pierce his breast, unless it be that life's end keep pace with death, nor by sitting on his hearth at home doth he the more escape his appointed doom (''peprômenon moros'')."<ref>{{Cite book|last=Perrin|first=Bernadotte|title=Plutarch's Lives|publisher=Harvard University Press.|year=1959–67|location=Cambridge, Massachusetts}}</ref>

The word ''moros'' is not personified here but the passage provides a clear picture of the concept.
