What happens if you don't have a coin for Charon?
I'm wondering about the scenario where someone doesn't have a coin to pay Charon, the ferryman of the Underworld in Greek mythology. What would the consequences be in such a situation?

Did Charon put coins on a dead person's eyes?
Excuse me, but could you please clarify something for me? In the context you've mentioned, I'm intrigued by the reference to Charon and placing coins on a dead person's eyes. Is this a reference to ancient mythology or a cultural practice? Is there a specific reason why Charon, often associated with ferrying souls across the River Styx in Greek mythology, would be linked to such a ritual? Could you elaborate on the origins and significance of this practice, if it indeed exists? Thank you in advance for shedding some light on this matter.
