Answer:

Charon

Explanation:

In Greek mythology, Charon or Kharon is a psychopomp, the ferryman of Hades who carries souls of the newly deceased across the rivers Styx and Acheron that divided the world of the living from the world of the dead. A coin to pay Charon for passage, usually an obolus or danake, was sometimes placed in or on the mouth of a dead person. Some authors say that those who could not pay the fee, or those whose bodies were left unburied, had to wander the shores for one hundred years. In the catabasis mytheme, heroes – such as Aeneas, Dionysus, Heracles, Hermes, Odysseus, Orpheus, Pirithous, Psyche, Theseus and Sisyphus – journey to the underworld and return, still alive, conveyed by the boat of Charon.

While Americans greet each other with a handshake or hug, Japanese people usually nod or bow

Explanation:

Americans often greet each other with a handshake, kiss on the cheek, or hug.

But in Japan, people greet each other by bowing or giving a simple nod. Traditionally, there are four different types of bowing, according to Slate. Each represents a different emotion, such as gratitude, remorsefulness, and respect. Generally speaking, the deeper the bow, the more gratitude or appreciation you are showing.

A theme that Animal Farm and Harrison Bergeron share is equality. True or false?
Allushta [10]
Your answer is True!  In Animal Farm the animals come together and make a law that all animals are equal and no animal is better than anyone else. Similarly in "Harrison Bergeron" all civilians wear "bands" that create equality by producing brain waves that made everyone at the same level of intelligence.
