Keres
In ancient Greece these were thought to be malignant spirits which brought on evils of various kinds such as pollution, blindness, many diseases, old age, death and spiritual blindness. Also keres were considered souls of the dead. A.G.H.
At death, the three Keres, agents of the Tree Fates, carry out the grim duty of execution. They carry the dead man's soul to the place of shadows. The Keres are really the Three Fates in another form because they sit on the boundary of life and death.
