The god of death is a figure found in various mythologies and religions, often representing the end of life and the transition to an afterlife. In many cultures, this deity is responsible for guiding souls to their final resting place or judging them based on their earthly deeds. Examples include Anubis in ancient Egyptian mythology and Hades in Greek mythology. These gods often embody both fear and reverence, as they remind people of mortality and the unknown. They may also be associated with rituals and practices aimed at honoring the dead, ensuring a peaceful passage to the afterlife, and maintaining a balance between life and death.
