Styx

/stɪks/ noun

Definition

In Greek mythology, the river that separates the living world from the underworld; also used metaphorically to represent a boundary between worlds.

Etymology

From Greek 'Styx,' possibly related to the root 'stugein' meaning 'to hate.' In mythology, it was named after a goddess of oaths and was believed to be the most important crossing in the underworld.

Kelly Says

The Greeks took oaths 'by the Styx' because they believed breaking an oath sworn by this river would have serious supernatural consequences—it was the most binding oath possible, which shows how the ancient Greeks used mythology to reinforce moral behavior.
