Aethalides
Definition
A character in Greek mythology, son of the god Hermes and Eupolemeia, the legendary herald of the Argonauts during the quest for the Golden Fleece. He was endowed by his father with an absolutely infallible and eternal structural memory, which did not fade even after death or after crossing the river Lethe, allowing his soul to remember all successive reincarnations undergone during its cosmic migration.
