Can anyone think of any other interesting words with entomology based on Greek Gods?
So due to some recent events, I looked up euthanasia to learn more about it, when I learned the entomology was the Greek word Eu (Good) and Thanatos (the Greek god of peaceful death) meaning a good, peaceful death.
I've been obsessed with the game "Hades" recently, so determining what the opposite of euthanasia would be seemed interesting to me, so I came up with the word dyskeres. Dys (greek prefix for bad) and Keres, (Thanatos' much more violent and blood craving sisters.)
The closest word I could find to this was Dyskeratosis, but that doesn't fit the bill, I'd be interested to know if anyone is familiar with any words that might be a closer match that I couldn't find.
