What is the greek name for the goddess of death?

I couldn't find the goddess so I am not sure if there is one but I found the God if that helps?





The God is Thanatos.





In Greek mythology, Thanatos was the Daemon personification of Death and Mortality. He was a minor figure in Greek mythology, often referred to but rarely appearing in person. His name is transliterated in Latin as Thanatus, but his Roman equivalent was Mors or Letus/Letum, and he was sometimes identified (perhaps erroneously) with Orcus.





Goddesses of death I got Hecate, Persephone, Demeter. Hope I helped!







What is the greek name for the goddess of death?
There is no Greek goddess of death per se.





The Greek god of death (dying) is Thanatos.


The God of the underworld, the land of the dead, is Hades, and his queen and thus goddess of the underworld, is Persephone.





In "the Sandman", the name of the universal manifestation of Death is given as 'Teleute' when she visits a wedding in ancient Greece, however I do not know whether this was made up for the story.
Reply:Thanatos was the God of Death.


Persephone was Queen of the Underworld, and the wife of Hades.





Morgan is a Celtic Goddess, not Greek.
