The River Styx is a significant concept and location in Greek mythology. It is often depicted as a boundary between the world of the living and the underworld, the realm of the dead ruled by the god Hades. According to myth, the River Styx is a dark and foreboding body of water which the souls of the deceased must cross, guided by the ferryman Charon. It is also portrayed as a river of oaths - it was believed that swearing on the River Styx was the ultimate promise, and a deity who broke such an oath would be rendered comatose for a year.
