🩸 They circled the dying. Clawed at the wounded. Drank the blood of the fallen.
The Keres were no goddesses to be worshipped. They were feared. Unnamed. Unwanted.

In this episode of The Lorekeeper’s Library, we step into the shadows of ancient Greek myth to uncover the terrifying spirits of violent death—the Keres. Sisters to Death himself, born of Night and Darkness, these winged horrors haunted battlefields, seeking out souls torn by war. But their presence wasn’t limited to myth. Whispers of them echo in plague, famine, and even the quiet dread that creeps in at the end of life.

Join us as we unravel their ancient origins, explore their place alongside Thanatos and the Moirai, and ask—are they truly gone, or have they simply changed their form?

If you're drawn to dark myths, ancient legends, and the creatures that hide in the folds of forgotten history—this one’s for you.
