Know, it just makes me wonder where the 14th Century Spanish got there ideas from.  

[Akherontis]

Well, Spain was right in the middle of Western Europe, and it had a lot of external influences from neighbouring countries, including those around the Mediterranean. It was particularly influenced by Romanization, as before that it was mostly a Celtic nation.

What? Why is Hypnos....black? That's racist! J'accuse! scream

mrgreen I know that's not what you meant, but incidentally, I have my reasons for my dark-skinned portrayal of Hypnos.

Aphrodite to Pasithea, from Nonnus, Dionysiaca:
"Ah, I know why your cheeks are pale : shadowy Hypnos, the vagabond, woos you as a bridegroom woos a maid! I will not compel you if you are unwilling; I will not join Hypnos the blackskin to Pasithea the lilywhite!’"
