Charon

Charon is the ferryman of the Underworld.

Mythology
Charon ferries souls across the Rivers Styx and Acheron which separate the world of the living from the world of the dead. He requires a payment to take souls across the rivers which is why ancient Greeks would bury the dead with a coin in their mouth. Charon only allowed a few living people into the Underworld.
 * He allowed Heracles into the Underworld to retrieve Cerberus for one of his twelve labors.
 * He allowed Dionysus into the Underworld so he could retrieve the soul of his mother, Semele, and bring her to Olympus.
 * He allowed Orpheus into the Underworld to retrieve the soul of his dead wife, Eurydice.
 * He allowed Aeneas into the Underworld.
 * He allowed Psyche into the Underworld so that she could retrieve the beauty ointment of Persephone.
 * He allowed Dante into the Underworld.
