  1. The Acheron River Tate Redding Pd. 2

  2. The real River Acheron is located in Espirus, Greece. • 36 miles long • Its source is near the village of Zotiko. • Flows into the Ionian Sea in Ammoudia. Background Information

  3. In Greek mythology, there are five rivers that flow through Hades. The Acheron, Cocytus, Phlegethon, Lethe, and the Styx.* In the bible, however, they are representative of the layers of hell. Biblical Significance *Side note: An ancient Greek hero named Achilles swam in the River Styx which made him completely invincible, except for one small spot…

  4. Of the five rivers, the Acheron is known as the river of pain. • It was used as transportation for the souls into the depths of Hades. • Acheron was once a man who gave the wrong people a drink of water. That ticked off Gaia, so she turned him into a river. People actually believed this… Stories and Myths

  5. In a nut shell, Macbeth is going to hell. He’s trying to change the fate destined by the three witches and so Hecate decides to step in. She tells them to take Macbeth to the river and escort him to hell. He has already murdered three people and lied to everyone else. Nothing he has done leads me to believe he doesn’t deserve this new fate. My Interpretation
