Styx

children of the terrible Titan, Cronus. You mortals, cannot fathom how much I hate him, my father ate me. But worse I was rescued by my show-off brother, you know who, the pretentious Olympian Zeus. One day he will join my enemies in the River Styx. What is the River Styx, you ask? Well, once someone dies, their soul comes to the river, where my trusted gondolier Charon gives the soul a boat…

row him across the river styx. This is probably how their conversation went. “ What are you doing here? Only the dead can pass” Charon told Orpheus “ Please ferryman I must pass.” Orpheus begged “ Why must you pass? You’re not a spirit.” “I must talk to my great uncle, Hades you know.” Then that’s when Orpheus brought out his lyre.

circle of hell lie those who committed gluttony (Dante 31). They are forced to live in filth and have human waste rained down upon them. (Dante 32). The fourth circle is reserved for people who are greedy (Dante 37). The fifth circle has the river Styx, where those who have committed the sin of wrath suffer (Dante 39-40).

Overcoming one’s evils is no easy feat, and this is made especially clear as the reader is given a tour through hell, in which the main character has to face his sins and overcome them. Dante’s Inferno by Dante is widely hailed as one of the great classics of Western literature, detailing Dante’s journey through the nine circles of hell.

Rhea swore on the river Styx never to tell anyone Olympia’s secret. To swear on the river Styx was a very serious thing that was not to be taken lightly back then.

Also, it’s called the “Dwarf Planet” because of its size. It could be called a “plutoid” because it’s farther out into space. Pluto is occasionally closer to the sun than other times because of the oval orbit. Pluto has five moons, which are Kerberos, Styx, Nix, Hydra, and Charon. Because of the New Horizons information and pictures this data has helped scientists learn more about Pluto. Pluto was discovered in 1930 by an astronomer Clyde Tombaugh as working in the observatory in Arizona. The…

adored but there on two different sides of the battle. So not much of a foil character but still sort of a foil character. Climax There are many climax's in this story but to me the main one is where Percy becomes invincible by taking a dip in the River Styx and not getting burned alive.
