What does “Thanatopsis” mean?
• Let’s break it down…• Thanatos—In Greek mythology, Thanatos was
the living embodiment of death. Homer wrote about him in The Illiad.
• Opsis—means “sight” in Greek. Also, think of the terms optician, optometrist, etc. What do these words mean?
• So, “Thanatopsis” literally translates to “death sight.”
