Ascalaphus

Ascalaphus is an Underworld spirit that tended to the orchards of Hades. Ascalaphus was buried under a rock by Demeter after he told Hades that Persephone ate pomegranate seeds in the Underworld. Heracles released him from his prison but Demeter then turned him into a screech owl. He is the son of Acheron and Gorgyra.
