**Mors** ipsa est elementum commune in cultura et historia, quod vis personificata multis modis excogitata est. Secundum nonnullas mythologias, Messor Torvus mortem victimae tantum adveniens efficit. Homines vicissim in nonnullis fabulis vitam retinere conantur per adventum mortis vitandum, aut per mortem pretiis vel dolis arcendam. Alii ferunt larvam mortis solum esse psychopompum, qui, ultima vincula inter animam et corpus separans, defunctum ad vitam post mortem ducit, tempus et modum mortis non continens. In multis mythologiis, mors mas, sed in aliis femina personificatur (exempli gratia, Marzanna in mythologia Slavica).
## In poesi Graeca 
Iam in *Iliade* sexto decimo carmine, Sarpedone, Iovis filio, ad Troiam occiso Mors personificata una cum Somno fratre  Iovis et Apollinis iussu corpus  in Lyciam vehit. Postea persona tragoediarum quoque fuit ut in *Alcestide* Euripidea et iam antea Phrynichea. Ab artificibus Mors alata fingebatur, gladio nonnumquam armata.
