Macaria, Greek goddess of blessed death. She guarantees peaceful journeys to the afterlife. She is a daughter of Hades, and is perhaps a more gentle counterpart of Thanatos, god of non-violent death. She is the stark contrast of Thanatos's blood-craving sisters, the Keres, merciless spirits of slaughter and disease, whose domain is violent death.
Macaria is connected with the passage of souls to the Islands of the Blessed (Nesoi Makarioi). Those who pass by her touch are "the blessed ones". She is a companion of her sister Melinoe.
