Keres (mythology) In Greek mythology, the Keres (Κῆρες ), singular Ker (Κήρ ), were female death-spirits. The Keres were daughters of Nyx, and as such the sisters of beings such as Moirai, who controlled the fate of souls and Thanatos, the god of peaceful death. Some later authorities, such as Cicero, called them by a Latin name, Tenebrae, or the Darknesses, and named them daughters of Erebus and Nyx.

Phren Phren (Ancient Greek: φρήν  "phrēn"  "mind" , genitive: φρενός) is an Ancient Greek word for brain or mind. It's latinised form is "fren" and is found in the English language words schizophrenia, phrenitis, phrenic nerve, frenzy, frenetic. Some ancient Greeks, including Aristotle, believed that the "mind" was located in the heart rather than the cranium. This explains the second meaning of "φρήν": thoracic diaphragm (hence the name of the "phrenic nerve").

Tekmor (mythology) Tekmor is a mythical primeval Ancient Greek goddess, related with the limit and end of life. In the cosmogony of Alcman (7th century BC), she appears together with Poros (path) immediately after the creation. Tekmor may be related with the Homeric Moira and with Ananke, (necessity) the primeval goddess of inevitability in Orphic cosmogony. She is absent in later Greek cosmogonies and in Greek literature. It seems that she represented a universal principle of natural order. The Greek writers named this power Moira (Fate), or Ananke (necessity), and even the gods could not alter what was ordained.

Nephesh Nephesh ( "nép̄eš") is a Biblical Hebrew word which occurs in the Hebrew Bible. The word refers to the aspects of sentience, and human beings and other animals are both described as having nephesh. Plants, as an example of live organisms, are not referred in the Bible as having nephesh. The term is literally 'soul', although it is commonly rendered as "life" in English translations. A view is that nephesh relates to 'sentient being' without the idea of life and that, rather than having a nephesh, a sentient creation of God is a nephesh. In the text is that Adam was not given a nephesh but "became a living nephesh." Nephesh then is better understood as 'person', seeing that and speak of a 'dead body', which in Hebrew is a "nép̄eš mêṯ", a dead nephesh. Nephesh when put with another word can detail aspects related to the concept of nephesh; with rûach "spirit" it describes a part of mankind that is immaterial, like one's mind, emotions, will, intellect, personality and conscience, as in .

Minos In Greek mythology Minos ( or ; Greek: Μίνως , "Minōs") was the first King of Crete, son of Zeus and Europa. Every nine years, he made King Aegeus pick seven young boys and seven young girls to be sent to Daedalus's creation, the labyrinth, to be eaten by the Minotaur. After his death, Minos became a judge of the dead in the underworld. The Minoan civilization of Crete has been named after him by the archaeologist Arthur Evans. By his wife, Pasiphaë (or some say Crete), he fathered Ariadne, Androgeus, Deucalion, Phaedra, Glaucus, Catreus, Acacallis and Xenodice. By a nymph, Pareia, he had four sons, Eurymedon, Nephalion, Chryses and Philolaus, who were killed by Heracles in revenge for the murder of the latter's two companions; and by Dexithea, one of the Telchines, he had a son called Euxanthius. By Androgeneia of Phaestus he had Asterion, who commanded the Cretan contingent in the war between Dionysus and the Indians. Also given as his children are Euryale, possibly the mother of Orion with Poseidon, and Pholegander, eponym of the island Pholegandros.
