ker (plural: Keres) Greek Female spirits that represented a person's death or perhaps destiny. Each person had one ker as a companion through life. The keres were portrayed as black, winged beings with long, pointed tails. According to stories, they tore at dead bodies to drink the blood. Homer, the great Greek poet credited with writing the Iliad, indicated that the keres accompanied heroes and determined not only their deaths but the ways in which their lives would unfold. According to Hesiod, a Greek poet who wrote in the 800s b.c., the keres were the daughters of Nyx (Night) and the sisters of Thanatos (Death) and the Fates.
