I flicked through Seneca and Plato, and while both vividly describe the swirling waters and boiling mud, neither makes any mention of living things in the Acheron.

The River Lethe is the river of forgetfulness and is one of the five rivers of Hades. It was believed that the newly dead who drank from the River Lethe would lose all memory of their past existence. The other four rivers of the underworld are Acheron, Cocytus, Phlegethon, and Styx. Acheron, which means "river of woe", is the river used by the old ferryman Charon would transport the dead from the land of the living to the realm of Hades. Cocytus means "river of lamentation". The people who were not properly buried were doomed to wander the banks of this river for most of their afterlife. Phlegethon was the river of fire.
