Mors

, one of the infernal deities born of Night, without a father. She was worshipped by the ancients, particularly by the Lacedæmonians, with great solemnity, and represented not as an actually existing power, but as an imaginary being. Euripi des introduces her in one of his tragedies on the stage. The moderns represent her as a skeleton armed with a scythe and a scymetar.
