Death is portrayed in mythology in diverse ways, reflecting cultural attitudes toward mortality. In some traditions, such as the Egyptian mythos, death is seen as a transition to an afterlife where souls are judged. In contrast, the Greek myths often depict death as a final end, overseen by Hades, who rules the underworld. In some indigenous myths, death is not final but opens paths to reincarnation or spiritual realms, illustrating how societies process the inevitability of death.
