Olethros

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Ancient Greek mythology, Olethros was the personification of Havoc and probably one of the Makhai.

Olethros translates roughly in ancient Greek to "destruction", but often with a positive connotation, as in the destruction required for and preceding renewal.

  • Olethros is also the nickname of the Brazilian chronist, Felipe Velloso, who is a megalomaniac.
  • The name "Olethros" is used to refer to Destruction in The Sandman series written by Neil Gaiman.
