*Akelous' appearance is similar to the [[Consecrated Mind, Sol Inherent]], another Sol Divisive Harpy.  When its armor has been completely blasted off, it resembles [[Theosyion, the Restorative Mind|Theosyion, Restorative Mind]].
*Akelous' appearance is based off of the [[Consecrated Mind, Sol Inherent]], another Sol Divisive Harpy.  When its armor has been completely blasted off, it resembles [[Theosyion, the Restorative Mind|Theosyion, Restorative Mind]].
*In Greek myth, Akelous (also spelled as Achelous) was known as a river God, father of the Sirens, creatures that used their singing to lure sailors to their deaths. The action taken by Akelous before beginning their fight may be conversion of Minotaurs into [[Conduit Minotaur]]s. This means the Conduit Minotaurs could be considered the Sirens, and Akelous their "father". The theme of controlling Arc energy and the capturing of subminds in the dungeons overall story appears to be based upon these Greek mythological origins.
*Akelous' idle animation may imply that it has been infusing Minotaurs to turn them into [[Conduit Minotaur]]s.
*Akelous' title of 'the Siren's Current' is a reference to Sirens, monsters in Greek mythology known to use their singing to lure sailors to their deaths. Based on what [[Osiris]] says in combination with this, it can be assumed that the Mind's purpose is to lure the Subminds to trap them within the [[Ares Spire]].
