The Keres, Daimons of Violent Death

The Keres. The Keres were bringers of violent death. They worked for the Moirai (the Fates) and for Moros, Daimon of Doom. Along with being the bringers of violent death, they also worked to spread plague, along with the Nosoi. They craved blood, and after they tore th soul from the body of the dead in battle they feasted on the blood of the deceased. The Olympians could stop or speed them up when they wanted to. Thanatos, unlike them, was the bringer of peaceful death. The Here's were fanged, taloned womn in bloody clothes. These daimones, although Nyx's daughters, were brought out of Pandora's pithos to plague mankind. Medea once summoned a few of them to kill Talos.
