In various mythological frameworks, death is commonly regarded as both an end and a beginning. It is seen as a transitional phase leading to the afterlife or reincarnation. Cultures view death differently: many honor it through rituals, celebrating life while acknowledging its impermanence. In Greek beliefs, Hades reigns over the dead, while in Norse myth, Valhalla welcomes brave warriors. This multifaceted approach accentuates death's role in human existence, revealing how different societies cope with mortality and convey a sense of hope or continuity beyond physical life.
