Question

This figure can be asked for coordinates of case files in a room full of scrolls, like “section zeta-pi-omega, upper beta folder” or “section sigma-phi-alpha, lower gamma folder.” The Eldest Sigil in the administrative chamber was restored by the House Contractor so that this woman could travel to her parent’s realm (15[1])and reconnect with them. (-5[1])This goddess abruptly fired a diligent maid named Dusa, but was later convinced (-5[1])to reverse the decision (15[1])on the condition that she didn’t work so hard. This goddess made a deal with the (*) Fates to resurrect her stillborn (10[1])foster son, and later gifted him the Black Shawl in return for some Nectar. The Olympians cooperated with this chthonic deity (10[1])to help that adoptive son, Zagreus, escape from the underworld and meet Persephone. For 10 points, name this overseer in the House of Hades, the embodiment of night. ■END■ (10[2])
