Why Acheloo???

When we decided to open our travel agency, we wanted a name that could be easily recognized and remembered. We looked for a name with a deep meaning, which could represent our strong desire to be on the market as the best one! We wanted a name with an historical meaning linked to the place.
Why we choosed Acheloo? Who is that?
Acheloo was a minotaur and the patron deity of the Acheloos River, which is the largest river of Greece, and thus the chief of all river deities. In the past, in fact  he was the patron deity of the Abella river, an old village near the place where we are.
History says that he was also suitor of Deianeira, Heracles' wife. Acheloo turned himself into a bull to fight against Heracles for Deianeira, but Heracles tore off one of his horns and forced the god to surrender. Heracles gave Acheloo's horn to the Naiads, who transformed it into the cornucopia.
For all these reasons, Acheloo represents perfectly, our strong desire to realize our projects, and his cornucopia is a symbol of fortune for us....
No other name could be better  than this!
