  Representations of death   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Unknowable as death may be, it is hardly unimaginable and despite its invisibility man needed to visualize and to contextualize death, in order to impede its sheer terror.
Death was represented by a fountainhead of metaphors, a large part of which can be traced back to biblical sources.
The garb of Death or the fl mourning robe, which the first references are found in the early fifteenth century, is very close to the robe of the priest or monk who officiated at the death bed.

 Gods of Death and Gods of Destruction
This stupid and immoral "god" is the very same one that pushes all fundamentalists of all stripes into murder and greed and malevolence.
It is the same god that Christian fundamentalists claim as their own that occupies the jet fighters and bombers that waste tens of thousands of innocent lives while dropping bombs from tens of thousands of feet in the air.
It is that god which both of these vile and vulgar "religions" glorify while they go about their filthy business of murder and carnage and destruction.

 Salon | Books: Gods of Death
His subsequent investigation, described in "Gods of Death," brought him into contact with dealers and pimps and gangsters on three continents, a cross-section of the walking dead richly deserving of hell's worst torments.
Svoray's collaborator in writing "Gods of Death" was a screenwriter, and the sequence of events seems to have been massaged considerably so things have a beginning, a middle and an end.

 Kelemvor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Fair yet cold, Kelemvor is the god of Death and the Dead - the most recent deity to hold this position, following in the footsteps of Jergal, Myrkul and, briefly, Cyric.
Unlike these other deities, whose rule as gods of death made the afterlife an uncertain and fearful thing, Kelemvor urges knowledge that death is a natural part of life and should not be feared as long as it is understood.
Kelemvor's greatest enemy is Cyric, but he also fiercely opposes the machinations of Velsharoon, the necromancer god who animates the dead into undead and thus stands against everything Kelemvor works for, and Talona, for the unnatural deaths caused by her diseases.

Particularly, Antigone seems to have an almost erotic fixation on death and impossibility; there is frequent talk of her marriage to death, of "living death" and death's living comandments (see pp.
Sophocles has taken the traditional mythological motif of marriage to death as a way of understanding the common and universal aspects of female experience, and he has turned it towards the understanding of Antigone's unique character and situation.
When Antigone talks about "the gods," it almost always turns out that she means the gods beneath the earth, the gods of death (e.g.
