ITS TOUCH IS FOR THE MOST PART INSENSIBLE
DEATH WAS ALSO RENDERED
OMNIPRESENT AND INEVITABLE
note NO TEMPLES WERE BUILT FOR DEATH

THANATOS is linked with HADES or
the UNDERWORLD and the twins HYPNOS and THANATOS or

SOMNOLENCE AMNESIA OBLIVION HYPNOSIS
perhaps SLEEP IS A REVERSIBLE
FORM OF OBLIVION in contrast to
DEATH implying ETERNAL SLEEP as in
" PUT TO SLEEP " by THANATOS
