Everything east of the Rhine is Asia.
Pretty sure that's the island that Wonder woman came from.
they're called "psychopomps" btw
TIL
Psychopomps (from the Greek word ψυχοπομπός, psychopompós, literally meaning the ‘guide of souls’) are creatures, spirits, angels, demons, or deities in many religions whose responsibility is to escort newly deceased souls from Earth to the afterlife.
Their role is not to judge the deceased, but simply to guide them. Appearing frequently on funerary art, psychopomps have been depicted at different times and in different cultures as anthropomorphic entities, horses, deer, dogs, whip-poor-wills, ravens, crows, vultures, owls, sparrows, and cuckoos. In the case of birds, these are often seen in huge masses, waiting outside the home of the dying.
The shinigami of Japanese mythology have been described as psychopomps.
I believe he's called 'Truck Kun' actually.
Shinigami
I pray to Truck-kun every day yet nothing. I'm starting to think it's not real.
Also, the Grim Reaper is actually based on Greek mythology as well, though some aspects may be considered Roman.
Kronos/Saturn would use his scythe to sever the soul from the body when the mortal person's time was up.
The soul would then wander to the Styx to be ferried by Charon.

Am I a joke to you?
