Ralara Caldari Lilandri Foundation	Posted - 2007.03.31 17:21:00 - [1] It's not Charon like "ch" = chalk or "ch" = cherry It's pronounced "kair-on", as in "Cher" = Kerr in "Kerry" Care-on would be a slightly exaggerated version of it. But it's not a soft ch, it's a hard ch. As in Chemistry, Chameleon etc. Just so you can now resume sleeping at night, and all. I'm a corp thief. And remember, I only do it because I like your robot.

Nope, English, but I can tell you it's a hard "ch" not a soft one :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hades The deceased entered the underworld by crossing the Acheron ferried across by Charon (kair'-on), who charged an obolus, a small coin for passage, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charon_(moon) Charon (shair'-ən or kair'-ən (key), IPA /ˈʃɛərən, ˈkɛərən/, Greek Χάρων), discovered in 1978, http://www.pantheon.org/articles/c/charon.html Pronunciation: kair'-uhn I'm a corp thief.

monkeyduck Mithril Inc Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.03.31 19:20:00 - [24] Originally by: Carter Burke Originally by: Soporo WTF, thought it was across the Styx, not the Acheron. That's correct. Charon was the god who pushed the boat, and it was the river Styx. CB Depends on the source, but the Styx is the most widely known. Read the Divine Comedy and other sources, however, and the Acheron is mentioned. If not the whole thing, Inferno is well worth the read .
