WHEN YOU STOP YELLINGWHEN IS THE NEXT RELEASE
We can thank Harry Belafonte for that.the name Calypso is much more know than the name Acheron.
Could also be that Orion is flying through a vast river instead of an ocean, and that said river is basically a river of the dead.It has been a long time since I have been here so in case what I will be saying as already been spoken about, you can ignore it.
So I am currently replaying Eternum and everyone can tell that there is many greek mythology inspirations in it at least for the name. While I have finished to reread chapter 2, I want to speak about 2 or 3 things. These things are the vision that Orion as in his first night in Kredon which is the same one when he liberates Calypso, another is the first connection to Eternum.
Let's start with the first connection to Eternum. Orion fly over a sea and perhaps this sea is Oceanus. It could fit with all the others elements from greek mythology and all the souls that are trapped in Eternum. Oceanus is said to border Tartarus or Elysium, (the afterlife in general) and you have to cross it to enter these realms.
So, about the first vision / dream. I don't want to speak about what the vision show but why it happen. This vision happen the first night Orion is back in Kredon and the same one happen when he liberate Calypso. The reason why the vision happen could be because of the phone call in the booth, where a woman tell him to find Calypso and open the gates of Acheon. At first, we could assume that the reason of the vision is the mention of Calypso but I'm not quite sure. For one, the name Calypso is much more know than the name Acheron. Orion as surely already heard Calypso be it in reading greek mythology or movies using greek mythology (Pirates of Caribbean as an exemple). Since Orion is quite connected to Eternum and to the dead be it with how is body transform during the story, the thing that would connect more with him is Acheron and it would be Acheron which start the vision. He will have the same vision when he free Calypso because he need her to open the Doors of Acheron.
Acheron is a river of the underworld, which in some myths take the place of the Styx with Charon. In Eternum, or at least in the first 2 chapters, there is 2 differents mentions of Acheron. The first is the Doors and the second is the temple. I can't say if in the end if it's the same thing that the phone voice (door) and the Founder (Temple) speak of. Acheron can be considered a gate of the underworld which could feat with the Door. Perhaps the gates will be used the others way. Instead of crossing Acheron to enter the underworld (whatever is Eternum), they will cross it to come out from the underworld and let the souls free instead of trapped.
Well I'm currently done with this though, thank you for reading this.
This womenWho is the woman in black that we always see at the beginning? She’s the one asking for help in the early moments, but then it’s Idriel who keeps asking for help, more or less. Also, here’s a theory of mine.

Yes, her. At first she always asks for help, but then she won’t be seen anymore—it’ll be Idriel who does it. Maybe she’s just one of many souls seeking help, but I feel there’s more to it. Though I’m probably wrong.This women

I feel that way too there has to be more to her something intertwined that we haven't got the full picture yetYes, her.

There's a theory that she is Psyche due to her dress' butterfly motif (Psyche is the Greek goddess of the soul and is associated with butterflies) and that she and Idriel are one and the same given that they share the same hairstyle and speak the same cryptic bullshit.Who is the woman in black that we always see at the beginning?
Okay, I’ve got a sense of it now.There's a theory that she is Psyche due to her dress' butterfly motif (Psyche is the Greek goddess of the soul and is associated with butterflies) and that she and Idriel are one and the same given that they share the same hairstyle and speak the same cryptic bullshit.
There's also this interesting reaction Cari had a while back on Discord that really makes you think...
