About Acheron

In Greek mythology, Acheron was one of the five rivers of the underworld, ruled by Hades, the god of the dead. The name "Acheron" means "the unchanging," and the river symbolized the boundary between life and death. It was seen as a dark and desolate place, and souls were required to cross Acheron to enter Hades' realm after death.

In mythology, Acheron became a metaphor for the underworld itself, representing the passage that every soul must make from the world of the living to that of the dead. It was a place of reflection on the fragility of life. Acheron thus embodies the inevitable transition from life to death and the eternal mysteries of human destiny.
