Sisyphus would evade Death a second time by convincing Persephone to allow him to return to his wife stating that she never gave him a proper funeral. He released Thanatos and handed his captor over to the god. Sisyphus cheated death by tricking Thanatos into his own shackles, thereby preventing the demise of any mortal while Thanatos was so enchained.Д®ventually Ares, the bloodthirsty god of war, grew frustrated with the battles he incited, since neither side could suffer any casualties. When it came time for Sisyphus to die, Zeus ordered Thanatos to chain Sisyphus up in Tartarus. But in myths which feature him, Thanatos could occasionally be outwitted, a feat that the sly King Sisyphus of Korinth twice accomplished. Thanatos was thus regarded as merciless and indiscriminate, hated by вЂ“ and hateful towards - mortals and gods alike. And the former of them roams peacefully over the earth and the sea's broad back and is kindly to men but the other has a heart of iron, and his spirit within him is pitiless as bronze: whomsoever of men he has once seized he holds fast: and he is hateful even to the deathless gods. The glowing Sun never looks upon them with his beams, neither as he goes up into heaven, nor as he comes down from heaven. The god's character is established by Hesiod in the following passage of the Theogony:ДЄnd there the children of dark Night have their dwellings, Sleep and Death, awful gods. Conversely, Thanatos may have originated as a mere aspect of Hermes before later becoming distinct from him. His duties as a Guide of the Dead were sometimes superseded by Hermes Psychopompos. He is also occasionally specified as being exclusive to peaceful death, while the bloodthirsty Keres embodied violent death. Thanatos was loosely associated with the three Moirai (for Hesiod, also daughters of Night), particularly Atropos, who was a goddess of death in her own right. Д¬ounted among Thanatos' siblings were other negative personifications such as Geras (Old Age), Oizys (Suffering), Moros (Doom), Apate (Deception), Momus (Blame), Eris (Strife), Nemesis (Retribution) and even the Acherousian/ Stygian boatman Charon. Then (Apollon) gave him into the charge of swift messengers to carry him, of Hypnos and Thanatos, who are twin brothers, and these two presently laid him down within the rich countryside of broad Lycia. Homer also confirmed Hypnos and Thanatos as twin brothers in his epic poem, the Iliad, where they were charged by Zeus via Apollo with the swift delivery of the slain hero Sarpedon to his homeland of Lycia.

The Greek poet Hesiod established in his Theogony that ThГЎnatos is a son of Nyx (Night) and Erebos (Darkness) and twin of Hypnos (Sleep).
