Everyone seems to be asking what he does with all the money he earns, which is a good question I'd like to think he throws the coins in the river wishing for a new job or revenge on Heracles, you choose

In the original Clash of the Titans, I think they just referred to him as The Ferryman He's always been a special entity to me Worthy of great respect
Comment from : Rev Wolf

charon was the most silly of the myths, but is understandable from person from a small city with a small mindbrAt those times they believe the world was so small, that this could make some sense
Comment from : JinZ

Great video and I had no idea Chiron was a Titan but a less powerful one such as Prometheus or Hecate who are well known but being kin ti Atlas and Chronos is something that is missed by many

This explains why Charon is classified as a daemon in D&D and other RPGs

Comment from : Cipher Aeon

I was told by a Greek friend, it would be pronounce like "Kyrin" (k-eye-rin)brThe "k" sound with the "h" means it would either be a "sh" or "k" sound (with the "h" being the silent letter)brbrAnd the "ai" sound would be like "eye" sound, similar to how it is in Daimon

I'm interested in adding ferryman in my story as a laid back guy
Comment from : Blue Horse

Yeah … but it’s because romans where so sinful… so their image of the way to the afterlife was not fun of course…
Comment from : Spark1

Very interesting, was looking this up because I am working with a guy named Cameron and thought the name was close and I am the head of mercury, but looks like I've become this figure, I'm literally rowing a boat threw the underworld and I'm all gross because of it Been getting fluffy too If only we became eachother

Comment from : RoninHunter

Its quite ironic especially now you see that quote “Death isn’t free” as a reminder of reality Greek Mythology says one coin was the price in the afterlife, but now when you think about it the cost of funeral expenses etc So the saying is true
Comment from : SUEDUCE

Charon sounds really identical to the name Ciaran!
Comment from : Iceboy445

I assume Charon doesn't have a physical, literal need for money, so what does currency represent? A small sacrifice? And what about all the people who've died alone and penniless? Does Charon make exceptions?

The only Ferryman?! What about Phlegyas /from Dante's Inferno? Wasn't he also a Ferryman?
Comment from : Ed Watkins

Just on the " only ferryman of the dead I know of" there are many, or just many versions of one depending on how you see itbrbrThe Greek and later Roman Charon one was based on the Egyptian KhertybrWhich was based on the sumarian ferryman UshanabibrbrBuddhist and Hindu tradition in India and japan also describes a river of the dead seperating the mortal from the underworld brbrGnöll is the Norse version of the river but instead of a ferryman there is a bridge with a guard/guidebrbrWeirdly, all of these versions describe a river seperating the world of the living from the dead
