Erebus :
In Greek mythology, Erebus /ˈɛrəbəs/ (Greek: Ἔρεβος, deep darkness, shadow), representing the personification of darkness; for instance, Hesiod's Theogony identifies him as one of the first five beings in existence, born of Chaos. Erebusb fathered several other deities with Nyx; depending on the source of the mythology, this union includes Aether, Hemera, the Hesperides, Hypnos, the Moirai, Geras, Styx, Charon, and Thanatos.
Erebus is also used of a region of the Greek underworld where the dead pass immediately after dying, and is sometimes used interchangeably with Tartarus.
Hesperides :
The Hesperides /hɛˈspɛrɪdiːz/ (Greek: Ἑσπερίδες) are nymphs who tend a blissful garden in a far western corner of the world, located near Libya or the Atlas mountains in North Africa at the edge of the encircling Oceanus, the world-ocean. The nymphs are said to be the daughters of Hesperus.
Palinurus :
In Roman mythology, especially Virgil's Aeneid, is the helmsman of Aeneas's ship. Later authors used him as a general type of navigator or guide.
Nephele
:
Nephele (/ˈnɛfəˌli/; Greek: Νεφέλη, from νέφος nephos, cloud; Latinized to Nubes) was a cloud nymph who figured prominently in the story of Phrixus and Helle.
Sterquilinus :
In Roman mythology, Sterquilinus (manure; also Stercutus or Sterculius) was a god of fertilization. He may have been equivalent to Picumnus.

The species names atropos, lachesis and styx are all from Greek myth and related to death. The first refers to the member of the three Moirai who cuts the threads of life of all beings; the second to the Moira who allots the correct amount of life to a being; and the last refers to the river of the dead. In addition the genus name Acherontia is derived from Acheron, a river of Greek myth.
Atropos is related to death, derived from atropos that may not be turned, from a -tropos (Greek: τρόπος) from trepein to turn. Atropos was one of the three Moirai, goddesses of fate and destiny. In addition the genus name Acherontia is derived from Acheron, a river in Greece, which in Greek mythology was known as the river of pain, and was one of the five rivers of the Greek underworld.
Hesperus /ˈhɛs pər əs/ is Phosphorus /ˈfɒs fər əs/ ( 晨星, 磷, Lucifer)
A e l l o (/ˈeɪəloʊ/; Ancient Greek: Ἀελλώ, Aellō) in Greek mythology was one of the Harpy sisters who would abduct people and torture them on their way to Tartarus.
It is claimed she is the mother of Achilles's immortal steeds Balius and Xanthus by Zephyrus, but some sources claim it was really her sister Celaeno.
