Description
MOROS was the personified spirit (daimon) of doom--the force which drove man towards his fated death. Moros' siblings Thanatos and Ker presided over the physical aspects of death--Ker was the bringer of violent death and deadly illness, while Thanatos represented a more gentle passing.

Aeschylus describes how Prometheus saved mankind from misery by taking away foresight of his own doom (moros) and replacing it with false hope (elpis).
