I wanted to ask you something. Which is... what's your name? This article title is conjecture. Although the article subject is canon, no official name for it has been given. |
Charon is a figure in Greek mythology, believed to be the one to carry the souls of the dead over the river Styx.
Influence
It was customary for the dead to be given a coin or couple to pay Charon his fee. The Spartan misthios Kassandra offered some for Podarkes' journey at his funeral.[1]
This tradition was also observed by Pothinus, a member of the Order of the Ancients during the 1st century BCE in Egypt, placing a coin in his own mouth as the Medjay Bayek of Siwa killed him[2], as well as by Jacob Frye, a British Assassin who gave his target Philip Twopenny a coin "for the path of the dead."[3]
In the Animus Black Room version of Clay Kaczmarek's memories, both the river Styx as well as Charon were represented.[4]
