T to Theban Plays Thebe to Thrasymedes Thriambos to Tyrtaeus
Death; a child of Nyx (Night).
In the poem, Theogony, he is described as: horrible, painful, cruel, brooding, mocking and malignant; Helios (the Sun) never casts his light on Thanatos; his heart is made of pitiless iron, when he takes hold of you, the world of light ceases to be.
For more detailed information on Thanatos I suggest that you consult the Immortals section of this site.
