死神的描述
Thanatos
by Micha F. Lindemans
The Greek personification of death who dwells in the lower world. In the Iliad he appears as the twin brother of Hypnos ("sleep"). Both brothers had little to no meaning in the cults. Hesiod makes these two spirits the sons of Nyx, but mentions no father.
Thanatos was portrayed as a youngster with a inversed torch in one hand and a wreath or butterfly in the other. He appears, with Hypnos, several times on Attican funerary vases, so-called lekythen. On a sculpted column in the Temple of Artemis at Ephese (4th century BCE) Thanatos is shown with two large wings and a sword attached to his girdle.
居住在更低的世界死亡的希臘擬人。在伊利亞特他出現作為Hypnos ("睡眠的" 雙胞胎) 。兩個兄弟有一點對沒有意思在崇拜。Hesiod 做這兩種精神兒子Nyx, 但提及沒有父親。Thanatos 被刻畫了當一位年輕人與a inversed 火炬在一隻手和花圈或蝴蝶在其他。他出現, 與Hypnos, 多次在Attican 殯葬花瓶, 所謂lekythen 。在一個sculpted 專欄在Artemis 寺廟在Ephese (第4 個世紀BCE) Thanatos 被顯示與二個大翼和劍附有他的girdle 。
Hypnos
by Ryan Tuccinardi
Hypnos is the personification of sleep in Greek mythology. He is the son of Nyx and Erebus, and the twin of Thanatos ("death"). Both he and his brother live in the underworld. He gave Endymion the power of sleeping with open eyes so he could see his beloved, the moon goddess Selene.
Hypnos is portrayed as a naked young man with wings attached to his temples, or as a bearded man with wings attached to his shoulders.
Hypnos 是睡眠的擬人在希臘神話方面。他是Nyx (夜之女神)和Erebus (司地獄之神)的兒子, 並且孿生Thanatos ("死亡") 。兩個他和他的兄弟活在地下盡頭。他給了Endymion 睡覺的力量與開放眼睛因此他能看他心愛, 月亮女神Selene 。Hypnos 被刻畫如同一個赤裸年輕人與翼附有他的寺廟, 或作為一個有鬍子的人與翼附有他的肩膀
另一則關於睡神的描述
Hypnos also acted alone in mythology, literature, and poetry. There is a delightful interlude in the Iliad that involves Hypnos, Hera, and Zeus. Hera visits Hypnos, and asks him for a favor - you see, the goddess wants to distract her husband Zeus from the events taking place. So she requests that the god of sleep use his powers on Zeus. However, Hypnos is reluctant to meddle with the ruler of Olympus. Hera then offers Hypnos an irresistible bride as a bribe - Pasithea, one of the younger Graces or Charites. In the end, the god of sleep agrees to cast his spell on Zeus.
Hypnos 單獨並且行動了在神話、文學, 和詩歌。有一支令人愉快的插曲在介入Hypnos 、Hera, 和Zeus ,在伊利亞特。Hera 拜訪Hypnos, 和請求他幫忙- 您看見, 女神想要與事件發生分散她的丈夫Zeus 。如此她請求睡眠的神他的力量在Zeus 。但是, Hypnos不情願地插手Olympus 統治者的事。Hera 然後提供Hypnos 一個不可抗拒的新娘為賄款- Pasithea, 一個Graces或Charites 。最後, 睡眠的神同意熔鑄他的咒語在Zeus 。

所以,睡神結婚後,便生下了夢神莫卡甫斯
Morpheus
by Micha F. Lindemans
The Greek god of dreams. He lies on a ebony bed in a dim-lit cave, surrounded by poppy. He appears to humans in their dreams in the shape of a man. He is responsible for shaping dreams, or giving shape to the beings which inhabit dreams. Morpheus, known from Ovid's Metamorphoses, plays no part in Greek mythology. His name means "he who forms, or molds" (from the Greek morphe), and is mentioned as the son of Hypnos, the god of sleep. 'Morphine' is derived from his name.
夢的希臘神。他躺臥在一張烏木床上在昏暗點燃了洞, 由鴉片圍攏。他出現對人在他們的夢想在一個人的形狀。他負責塑造夢想, 或給形狀居住夢想的生存。Morpheus, 已知從Ovid 的不變形, 起作用在希臘神話方面。他的名字意味"他形成, 或鑄造" (從希臘morphe), 和被提及作為Hypnos 的兒子, 睡眠的神。' 嗎啡' 從他的名字被獲得。
睡神的另外3個兒子
Icelus
by Micha F. Lindemans
A son of Hypnos and one of the Oneiroi, the personifications of the various types of dreams. He made the shapes of humans appear in dreams.
負責塑造夢中人
由於只有一句描述,樓主唯有用想像力了~
我認為,西方人也相信死去的人會報夢如親人,而這位Icelus應該是負責替報夢吧~
夢中夢見人,大多數是在親人去世;當然也有夢見活人
不過很少矣

補充
The Oneiroi are the personified deities of specific types of dreams such as nightmares, sexual dreams, etc. They were thought to dwell on the shores of the Ocean in the extreme west. True dreams issue from a gate of horn, while deceptive dreams issue from a gate of ivory. The most important one is Morpheus, the god of dreams. His brothers are Icelus, Phobetor and Phantasos. At his command, they sent forth the various shapes that appear in the dreams of humans.
Oneiroi 是具體類型擬人化的神夢想譬如惡夢, 性慾的夢, 等。他們被認為居住在海洋的岸在極端西部。真實的夢想發布從墊鐵門, 當欺騙的夢想發布從象牙門。最重要是Morpheus, 夢想的神。他的兄弟是Icelus 、Phobetor 和Phantasos 。在他的命令, 他們送了出現在人夢想的各種各樣的形狀。
