Anchises
Anchises was a Trojan prince and the father of Aeneas, the hero of Vergil's Aeneid. Anchises was crippled for revealing his coupling with the goddess Venus. This is told in Aeneid Book II 635ff, where he tries to talk his son into leaving him in Troy where he will surely die.
When Aeneas left Troy, he carried his father, a cousin of Priam, on his back; then, when Anchises died, Aeneas visited him in the Underworld in Aeneid VI where Anchises reveals to his son Rome's future greatness.
Aeneas
Aeneas is the son of the goddess Aphrodite and the mortal Anchises.
Anchises was a cousin of King Priam of Troy, which made Aeneas a Trojan prince. Aeneas was raised first by nymphs and then by his father. During the Trojan War, Aeneas fought as an ally of Troy. Then, when Troy was burned, Aeneas set out, leading a band of followers, with his aged father on his shoulders, the household gods (penates) in hand, and accompanied by Ascanius, his son (who would later be called Iulus).
Aeneas traveled to Thrace, Carthage (where he met Queen Dido), and the Underworld, before settling down in Latium (in Italy). There Aeneas married the king's daughter, Lavinia. Their son, Silvius, became the king of Alba Longa. Along with Romulus, Aeneas is considered one of the founders of Rome.
The story of the adventures of Aeneas on his odyssey from Troy to Rome is familiar from the Aeneid by Vergil (Virgil).
Examples: Aeneas is the hero of Vergil's (Virgil's) 12-book epic poem the Aeneid. In the Aeneid, the tragic queen Dido of Carthage commits suicide when Aeneas abandons her.
Charon
Charon was the ferryman in the Underworld who took the dead across the River Acheron or possibly Styx to the realm of Hades and received as payment the coin stuck under their tongues. In the Aeneid VI, Charon is depicted, dressed in clothing held by a knot on one shoulder, with a white beard and fiery eyes, pushing off the boat with a pole. Greek dramatists depict him as old, insatiable, and in a hurry. In art, he is sometimes showed as in his prime. He receives the dead, from Hermes the psychopomp, with his left hand and holds the pole in his right.
Although neither Homer nor Hesiod mentions Charon, he was probably a figure in folklore before them. The earliest literary references are from the 5th century, in the Minyad and Aeschylus' Seven Against Thebes.
The Etruscans also had a Charon, although he is called Charun. Charun is gruesome, with hooked nose, flaming eyes, and animal ears, and sometimes wings. He carries a hammer. His functions are more varied than the Greek and Roman Charon, ferryman of the dead.
Cerberus - 3-Headed Hound of Hades
The three-headed, serpent-tailed dog Cerberus was the offspring of Echidna and Typhon. (In Greek mythology, parents didn't necessarily resemble their offspring.) In one of the main sources on Greek mythological figures, Hesiod's Theogony, Cerberus had not 3, but 50 heads. The point was, he had more than one threatening, toothy set of jaws.
Cerberus was a fierce, pitiless, flesh-eating Underworld watchdog, stationed by the River Styx, from which post he would keep the living from entering the land of the dead. Even the gods feared Cerberus, but Hercules (Heracles), for his 12th Labor, had to kidnap the three headed dog and bring him to King Eurystheus. Vergil included in his Aeneid a trip to the Underworld, in which it was necessary for the Roman hero, Aeneas, to get past Cerberus. In Book VI of the Aeneid, the Sibyl threw tranquilizers to each of the three heads of Cerberus so Aeneas could pass in safety.
Orpheus and Psyche were two other mortals who managed to get by Cerberus.
Deiphobus
Deiphobus was the son of Priam and Hecuba who became leader of the Trojan army following the death of Hector. With Paris, he slew Achilles. After Paris' death, he became Helen's husband and was betrayed by her to Menelaus. Aeneas talks to him in the Underworld in Book VI of the Aeneid.
Dido - Queen of Carthage
Dido is known best as the queen of Carthage who died for love of Aeneas, according to the Aeneid of Vergil (Virgil).
Dido was the daughter of the king of the Phoenician city-state of Tyre. The legend tells us that when the king died, Dido's brother, Pygmalion, killed Dido's wealthy husband, Sychaeus. Then the ghost of Sychaeus revealed to Dido what had happened to him. He also told Dido where he had hidden his treasure. Dido, knowing how dangerous Tyre was with her brother still alive, took the treasure, fled, and wound up in Carthage, in modern Tunisia. Dido bartered with the locals, offering a substantial amount of wealth in exchange for what she could contain within the skin of a bull. When they agreed to what seemed an exchange greatly to their advantage, Dido showed how clever she really was. She cut the hide into strips and laid it out in a semi-circle with the sea forming the other side. Dido then ruled Carthage as queen. The Trojan prince Aeneas met Dido on his way from Troy to Lavinium. When he left her to fulfill his destiny, Dido was devastated and committed suicide. Aeneas saw her again, in the Underworld in Book VI of the Aeneid.
FURIES
The Furies are an adaptation of the Greek Erinyes who torture the guilty in Tartarus. Sometimes they drive mortals to madness.
Misenus
Misenus was a Hector's trumpeter who left Troy with Aeneas.
"On his voyage for Italy, Misenus -- no Elpenor-like wimp but a fortissimus heros (6.169) -- had recklessly blown into a conch shell as though summoning troops to battle: "jealous Triton caught and plunged him in the foaming waves amid the rocks" (173-74). Like Odysseus who knew nothing of Elpenor's fall until he saw him in the netherworld, Aeneas was ignorant of Misenus's drowning until he saw his corpse on the beach."
Palinurus
Palinurus, son of Jasus, was Aeneas' helmsman who was put to sleep while on duty by the god of sleep. He was then tossed overboard eventually arriving and dying unburied on land. Aeneas visited him in the Underworld where he promised to give Palinurus a proper burial.
King Priam of Troy
Priam was the last king of Troy, son of Laomedon and Strymo. King Priam was killed at the end of the Trojan War. His wife was Hecuba. Paris, Troilus, and Hector were three of Priam and Hecuba's many sons. Polyxena and Cassandra were two of their daughters.
When Hercules sacked Troy during the reign of Laomedon, of the children, only Podarkes, henceforth 'Priam' and Hesione were spared.
PROSERPINE/PROSERPINA
The daughter of Ceres, wife of Hades. In Greek myth, she is called Persephone. As Queen of the Underworld, she received the gift of a golden bough from Aeneas.
RHADAMANTHYS/RHADAMANTHUS
Son of Zeus and Europa, brother of Minos, praised for his piety, justice, and wisdom, he married Hercules' mother Alcmene after the death of Amphitryon. Later legend makes him the judge of the dead along with Æacus and Minos.
Sibyl - The Cumaean Sibyl
The Cumaean Sibyl guided Aeneas through the Underworld in Book VI of the Aeneid.
She tried to sell King Tarquin nine books telling Rome's future, but Tarquin thought the price was too high, so she left. When she returned, she had 6 books, which she again offered to sell at the same price. Again, Tarquin rejected the offer. Finally, when only 3 volumes remained, Tarquin bought them for the full price. These books are known as the Sibylline Books or Libri Sibyllini and were consulted in times of crisis.
The books burned in 83 B.C.
Sisyphus
Sisyphus was an ancient king in Greek mythology famous not so much for what he did in life as for how he suffered punishment in the Afterlife.
In the Afterlife, Sisyphus was condemned to remain in Tartarus, the place of punishment. There he had to push back up a hill a heavy rock that kept rolling back down. Sisyphus was compelled to push the rock without success for all eternity. Since this was a hellish punishment, Sisyphus must have done something horrendous. However, the crimes that were awarded the worst punishments in Greek mythology tended to be the ones that affected the gods, particularly the king of the gods, Zeus. Thus, Sisyphus' crimes may have been, first, revealing Zeus' dalliance with Aegina to her father, Asopus, and second, craftily escaping from death until an old man.
Sisyphus was the son of King Aeolus of Aeolia (Thessaly), brother of Athamas, husband of the Pleiad Merope, father of Glaucus, grandfather of the hero Bellerophon, rider of the winged horse, Pegasus, and the founder of the city-state of Corinth. Sometimes, Sisyphus is said to be the father of Odysseus.
