Original artwork description:

n Akkadian, an ancient semitic langauge, the word Erebu means "to go down, set" (in reference to the sun). This is believed by some to be the origin of the name for Europe. The land of the sunset as seen from the middle east.
In greek mythology Erebus was a primordial deity, representing the personification of darkness, born out of Chaos. The name Erebus is also used as a region of the Greek underworld where the dead pass immediately after dying, a "place of darkness between earth and Hades".
