Beings or creatures that never die and live forever, either real or fictional characters in stories.
From Latin 'immortalis' (im- meaning 'not' + mortalis meaning 'subject to death'). The concept evolved through ancient mythology where gods and legendary beings were considered immortal, contrasting with mortal humans.
Every ancient civilization—Egypt, Greece, Rome, Mesopotamia—invented immortal gods, which tells us something deep about human nature: we've always feared death and imagined what eternal life might mean, even though biologically, everything we know dies.
