Charon

Χάρων

The old man who ferries the dead across the river — for a fare.

Souls who could not pay the fare had to wander the riverbank for a hundred years.

That is why the Greeks buried their dead with a coin placed in the mouth.

Pluto's largest moon is named Charon — the ferryman circling forever at Pluto's side.
