I love ancient Greek and Roman mythological stories and sometimes they inspire me in my work. This bronze sculpture of Charon is proof of that.

In ancient Greek mythology, Charon was a ferryman who ferried the souls of the dead across the Acheron River in a boat.
But only if they had a coin with which to pay him. That is why the dead in ancient Greece were buried with a coin under their tongue.
Those who had nothing to pay had to wander the banks of Acheron for a hundred years.
