> Charon is the [boatman's] name and [usually] is depicted to look like the grim reaper.

Although I'm not sure whether that's something that the Greeks did, or something that more modern people started doing to make him seem more familiar.

> Hades, Zeus, and [Poseidon] drew lots to see who would rule which aspect of the world.
> Zeus won and got the sky and the earth, [Poseidon] got second place and chose the seas,

Technically, I think, Zeus only got the sky. The earth was considered neutral ground so that the mortals could get on with their everyday lives relatively uninterrupted.

> Aside from the Elisian Feilds (for only the very good) and Tartarus (for those cursed by the gods)

At our university, all the computers run by University Computing Services have names taken from Greek myth.
All the undergraduate internet accounts are kept in Tartarus.

By way of contrast, the hero Orion made one serious goof and wound up in testpatternville.

Although according to some stories, the Titan who fathered the gods got let into Elysium. I don't know what motives were involved.

In case you're wondering "Why not the heel?", it's because they needed to hold on to something while they were dipping him.

Mythology is also a favourite topic of mine, although I tend to rely on my memory when I'm showing off.

My favourite mythologies are Ancient Greek, Ancient Scandinavian, Celtic, and Modern American (also one of Speedball's favourite mythologies, yes?).
