In Greek mythology, Styx is a goddess and river of the Underworld.

She sided with Zeus in his war against the Titans, and because of this, to honor her, Zeus decreed that the solemn oaths of the gods be sworn by the water of Styx.

Named as the River of Hate in Greek mythology, the River Styx was considered a river of punishment.

In Virgil's epic poem, Aeneid, the dead who could not pay the fee, and those who had received no funeral rites, had to wander the near shores of the Styx for one hundred years before they were allowed to cross the river.
