Who pass'd, methought, the melancholy flood
With that grim ferryman which poets write of,
Unto the kingdom of perpetual night.
Richard III c. 1591, I. 4. 45

The Obol was an ancient greek coin made of bronze, copper or silver and popular for funerary use. Deceased were buried with obol coins in their mouth to pay the ferryman Charon for the passage across the rivers Styx or Acheron.

#MythologyMonday In Greek mythology, Charon is the ferryman of Hades who conveys souls of the newly deceased across the rivers Styx & Acheron that separated the world of the living from that of the dead. It was customary to pay a coin for safe passage.

new oc alert...this is charon, as in the the ferryman of hades, he’s supposed to be like a far down descendant who still does the same job but he is...an uber driver. he is also the frontman and lead singer of his band, styx (haha) he would sell ur soul to hades for one corn chip
Charon ferryman of the Greek Underworld.His role was to ferry the souls of the dead to the afterlife by payment of a single coin. If a soul didnt have a coin they were destined to wonder the river Acheron/Styx banks as ghosts, lost forever

"Charon crossing the Styx" is a painting by Flemish artist Joachim Patinir and depicts the ferryman Charon with a soul in the middle of the river. To the left is the Christian heaven with angels, on the right the dog Cerberus waits in Hades.

#OTD 6-24-1978 My largest moon is christened #Charon. Discoverer James Christy chooses the name to honor his wife Charlene & later discovers the name has a connection to the mythical Greek ferryman who escorted dead souls to the Underworld. #Pluto #Space https://t.co/Ie4JMiP2BJ
