  1. did you know that almost all greek gods have a roman counterpart, as they are millions of years old and went through different stages.

    Zeus – Jupiter
    Hades – Pluto
    Poseidon – Neptune
    Aphrodite – Venus
    Ares – Mars

    Hypnos's roman counterpart was named Somnus (hence the word insomnia)

    Though Hypnos is usually depicted as lazy and constantly tired, Somnus was known to brutally murder soldiers who were caught sleeping on the job, so not all greek and roman counterpart gods were the same

  2. Ignoring the fact that Hypnos and Thanatos are the sons of a primordial goddess and Hypnos especially is a HUGE momma's boy. You mess with him, you mess with Nyx.

  3. I always liked to think the gods the determine an uncontrollable thing that humans can’t control about themselves (Sex,sleep,love, etc) are scarier and stronger than the main olympians
