Acastus
Acastus (/əˈkæstəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἄκαστος) is a character in Greek mythology. He sailed with Jason and the Argonauts, and participated in the hunt for the Calydonian Boar.
Biography
Acastus was the son of Pelias, then king of Iolcus, and Anaxibia (Philomache in some traditions).
After the return of the Argonauts, Acastus's sisters were seduced by Medea to cut their father Pelias in pieces and boil them. Acastus, when he heard this, buried his father, and drove Jason and Medea from Iolcus (and, according to Pausanias, his sisters also), and instituted funeral games in honor of his father. He thereafter became king of Iolcus.
Acastus purified Peleus of the murder of King Eurytion of Phthia. Acastus's wife (variously named in mythology; often Astydamia, but sometimes Hippolyte, daughter of Cretheus) fell in love with Peleus but he scorned her. Bitter, she sent a messenger to Antigone, Peleus's wife and daughter of Eurytion, to tell her that Peleus was to marry Acastus's daughter, Sterope.

Deliver Us To Evil
by: ExodusIn my grave down below
Hell's fire starts to glow
My prayers have now been heard
By my lord, my god. master lucifer
There is no life or birth
When the undead walk the earth
Unholy blaspheme and torment
Are now set free.
Lead us into temptation
A reign of terror will begin
Deliver us to evil
We promise death, world's end
Incubus in the sky
Pentagram held high
Hell's filth hounds begin to bark
The bells begin to tone
Virgin lies in blood
The blood was once her own
The redness and the horror of blood
Swept acro55 the land I stood
Lead us into temptation
A weigh of terror will begin
Deliver us to evil
We promise death, world's end
Black prince of hell
In fire he reigns
Your god above wrapped up in chains
There is no love
When works collide
Deliver us to evil
When god has died
I laugh while they cry
Their fears build up inside
In their confusion they try to run
But it's no use, my work is done
Slow death is the price
For living such wasted lives
Their bodies they burn and bleed
Until they bow, my word they heed
You've led us into temptation
Our reign of terror has begun
Deliver us to evil
Prince of hell
Satan's son
