1. cocytus

   Cocytus is one of the five rivers in the mythology of ancient Greece that flows into the underworld, Hades. The word Cocytus translates to "river of wailing" from Greek, which is associated in myth with lamentation, especially of those souls consigned to eternal damnation. It's often depicted in literature as a place of extreme cold, hence, it is sometimes also referred to as the 'river of ice'. Dante Alighieri, in his epic poem "Divine Comedy", describes Cocytus as a frozen lake at the deepest part of Hell.
