The Concept of Death in Mythology

Some see Death as the final stage in life, others see it as the beginning of a new life in the after life. For many religions, Death has been personified in many ways. Even though their purpose is quite the same. To rule the world of the dead, their story of origins are quite different.

Greek Mythology, Death is personified by Hades, his wife Persephone, and their pet Cebereus Or Charon the boatman.
