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.

Should it be peers or peer's or peers' ?
Nataly_w [17]
Peers has two meanings:
1) verb: to look or gaze. For example: He peers at the puppy through the window. (that is, he looks at the puppy through the window)
2) noun: Individuals who are comparable on some given metric. For example: My peers and I met to discuss issues which impacted our lives. 

Peer's refers to something belonging to a single peer (definition two above).
For example: I thought that my peer's sweater looked very nice on him. 

Peers' refers to something belonging to a group of peers (definition two above). For example: As a group, my peers' achievements are very impressive!

So for your sentence on taking advice, I would assume that you would want
to use "peer's", because it refers to the advice which comes from a single peer.
