There is NO entity who is death, as far as I know. Death for ancient greeks is not an antity but a fact. A journey. That is why the dead person needs money in his mouth,there is a trip ahead-so you need money. Adis or....Hades if you like,he is the god of the underworld. Persefon is not cruel like her husband. She is daugther of Dimitra and she is Cool. Yes! No way she is cruel,a daugther of mother nature,she was kidnapped after all to the underworld. There is something sweet in death as well. Thanatos is the guy who helps you find your way there where you can ...die(?). No. I don't beleive there is an entity that is death itself.
Have a nice day all of ya
