I believe it makes a nice metaphor for port forwarding. Why not name the router Charon, since he ferried souls across the river Styx into Hades / hell / the underworld / etc?

I mostly went with it because my name is Jason. I call my old desktop Zeus, my new one Hercules (due to an ignorance of the proper spelling).
