Thanatos

Hey kiddo, do you know what happens when someone dies? When someone dies, their body stops working and they can't breathe or eat anymore. This is called death. Thanatos is a Greek term for death, and it's often used to describe the personification of death in mythology. It's kind of like a scary character that people in ancient Greece believed took people's souls to the underworld after they died. So, thanatos is really just a fancy way of saying death. Does that make sense, kiddo?
