- Primordial personification of old age

Brief Bio

Geras is the primordial Greek deity of old age, weariness, and the passing of time. Often depicted as a shadowy or winged figure, Geras embodies the inevitable decline and fatigue that come with age, symbolizing the transient nature of life and beauty. 

As one of the personifications of fundamental aspects of existence, Geras represents the relentless march of time and the aging process that affects all beings. Though not a prominent figure in myths, Geras serves as a reminder of mortality’s inescapable presence in Greek cosmology.
