For obvious reasons, he was hated by both mortals and gods alike, as he was merciless and indiscriminate. He was so unpopular that the Greeks didn't bother to put him into many myths. The ones that he was in, he spent captured. And for what? For doing his job. That's right folks, a hardworking death god just wants to earn his living and what does he get? Captured. By some King named Sisyphus who doesn't want to die and the one and only Heracles (who was tricked to do so). But don't worry, Thanatos made sure not to be captured ever again.
