O to Oresteia Orestes to Ozolian
The oracle associated with the river Akheron (Acheron).
The Akheron is the river in the Underworld over which Kharon (Charon) ferries the souls of the dead; Herodotus relates the story of the king of the city of Korinth (Corinth), Periander, who sent an emissary to the Oracle of the Dead; the king’s dead wife, Melissa, revealed through the oracle the hiding place of some treasure that she had hidden that Periander could not have found without her help.
