Meaning & History
From the Greek word Μόρος, "doom, fate", Moros is the being of impending doom in Greek Mythology, he drives mortals to their deadly fate. He is the offspring of NYX, the primordial goddess of the night, which would make him the brother of the Fates: CLOTHO, LACHESIS, and ATROPOS. Among his other siblings are THANATOS and Ker. GAIUS JULIUS HYGINUS suggested that Moros was sired by EREBUS, primordial god of darkness. However, HESIOD's Theogony suggests that Nyx bore him by herself, along with all her other children.
