Acheron, the river entrance to Hades before it was Styx

#styx #acheron #hades #charon #greek mythology #classics #jftr I looked at Sources and I don't think this river was universally agreed to be the whole underworld Acheron in ancient Greece #there was also a Hades-Persephone temple along it #and I had been told that there were no temples or offerings to Hades #and also I wonder if claiming that this river was *The* Acheron might have been a bit of a temple marketing thing #but like some sources say that along with this this river in Turkey is also the Acheron #and also that the Acheron is huge and underground for a huge chunk of it #so idk #much to think about #photos
