Talk:Death (mythology)

Durac/Dorac/Death/what's his name
I freely admit that I may have messed up and that this entity has no name other than Death. though I did see the episode in question, I have no copy handy. feel free to change. in the episode though, he does not have the name Grim Reaper (no one calls him that) even he looks similar. --Stardizzy? 03:06, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

When i created the article, I called it Grim Reaper because there was an article already using the name Death. I have seen the episode twice, and Durac isn't used. The evil dudeArnie 15:54, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I thought Owen used the name Dorac in the episode but hey whatever. Doomlurker 19:33, 4 March 2008 (UTC)


 * "Durac" was said in the episode. If I remember correctly, it means "hunger", not "death". 18:08, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Ok, it's spelled Duroc and his name is Hunger. I think it should be renamed Hunger, then possibly Death, if not Duroc and then finally Durac, incorrect spelling. I'm A Hydroponic Tomato! Bigredrabbit 06:27, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

I think when Owen said "I know what it wants, it's duroc," he meant that the entity wanted to satisfy its hunger for life, not that "duroc" is its name. Due to that, I also suggest that this page be moved to something like Death (Dead Man Walking). TroopDude ☎  15:19, October 16, 2012 (UTC)

Name Source
Can I just say, Duroc's words in the episode were something like Melenkurion Abatha Duroc Minas Mil Khabaal, right? They're six of the Seven Words of Power in Stephen Donaldson's Thomas Covenant Chronicles (the only ones known in the first trilogy). So, that's the source of the words and name.
