The Makrinaos cave is a real myth! Thoughts?

So. I was Wikipedia-surfing about Greek mythology stuff a minute ago, trying to find cool little factoids to use in making headcanons, and stumbled upon this little line.

So of course I have to look into it, right? And, well… it did not disappoint.

Sound familiar?

What do you all think? I definitely think something’s gonna happen here, I mean, you can’t just put that in and not do something with it

I could think of a certain tragic figure who would want to recover his lost love… a person whose current fate we… don’t really know

morden?

oh shit yeah allanon

i wonder if the hole in charon’s depths is supposed to be a gateway to the underworld

He doesn’t have a enchanting tune to play like Orpheus and even he failed to recover his love
