Maybe, I don't know what the Passions are, I assume greek mythological
figures.

The Endless are character's in Neil Gaiman's Sandman series of Graphic
novels. Who are in order of first existence Destiny, Death, Dream(aka
Sandman, Morpheus, Lord of dream and the hero of the tales),
Destruction(Resigned), Desire, Delight(later Delerium) and Despair.
They are anthropomorphic(sp?) personifications of the above
emomtions/things.

I would whole heartedly recommend the series to anyone.
