Does this mean I dont have to pay?

HYPNOS (or Hypnus) was the god or spirit (daimon) or god of sleep. He resided in Erebos, the land of eternal darkness, beyond the gates of the rising sun. From there he rose into the sky each evening in the train of his mother Nyx (Night).
Hypnos was depicted as a young man with wings on his shoulders or brow. His attributes included either a horn of sleep-inducing opium, a poppy stem, a branch dripping water from the river Lethe (Forgetfulness), or an inverted torch.
