Viduus

<![CDATA[

Viduus [AKA "The Divider"]
Greek entity responsible for separating body from soul after death. Often depicted as a reverse-negative shepherd and companioned by the metal owl ¹ from the 1981 film Clash of the Titans . Within the field of post-Antiquity metaphysics, Viduus has been retroactively blamed for the persistence of bicameralism in the Greek Dark Ages, an epoch largely characterized by a visual reliance on protogeometric patterns and the absence of any enduring semanical systems. His presence was traditionally announced with the sounding of ominous, distant division-bell .

¹ As is often the case, the owl is not what it seems.
