Is there a Nordic Mythological equivalent to the Greek's Charon?
Yes, Odin. So Sinfjotli drank, and straightway fell down dead to the ground. Sigmund rose up, and sorrowed nigh to death over him; then he took the corpse in his arms and fared away to the wood, and went till he came to a certain firth; and then he saw a man in a little boat; and that man asked if he would be wafted by him over the firth, and he said yes thereto; but so little was the boat, that they might not all go in it at once, so the corpse was first laid therein, while Sigmund went by the firth-side. But therewith the boat and the man therein vanished away from before Sigmund's eyes. Source: The Story of the Volsungs, translated by William Morris and Eirikr Magnusson
