Moor (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Moro or Moros (in ancient Greek Μορος, 'fate'; in Latin Fatum) was the male personification of fate, luck and impending doom.

He was the son of Nix and (according to Higinus) of Erebos. Like his mother, Moros was invisible and dark. He was one of the so-called "dark gods" along with his brothers Thanatos (Death), the Keres, Hypnos (Sleep) and the Oniros (the tribe of dreams).

It is said that all the other gods were subject to Moors, and that it was the only power to which Zeus had to submit, the most powerful of them. His laws were written in a place where the gods could go to consult them. His ministers were the three Fates, female personifications of destiny. To break him, Chaos was reintroduced into the world.

In Roman mythology it is Sors.
