King Pumpkin Jack Chupi the Terrible No, but Acheron is essentially the god of death itself. I originally thought Athena, but Ares and Athena are both a bit overused. ... And I just don't like the name Mars. Then mixing Ares and Minerva? Just not right. Thanatos and Hades were the gods of death (technically Hades is the god of the Underworld/Hell/Hades/Tartaurus/whatever else they call it, but that kinda makes him a god of death. Thanatos was the acctuall god of Death.) Acheron was a part of the River Styx or the link between Hades and the mortal world I think. It translates to "River of Woe" and is where the newly dead souls would be carried across into hades. There are 5 rivers. Acheron(Woe or Sorrow), Cocytus(Lamentation), Lethe(Forgetfullness), Phlegethon(Fire), and Styx(hate) (And the fact that the roman equivalent of Hades is Pluto, and they just made it so Pluto isnt a planet, makes me hate the scientists that made that choice.)
Acheron was also the name of the fairyman who brought you across the river. He took the form of a scrawney old man usually depicted with a big a** hammer or a scythe, and is pretty much the origin of the modern day depictions of the grim reaper.
