How do you get through the river of styx?
Charon was the ferryman of the dead, an underworld daemon in the service of Hades. Hermes gathered the shades of the dead from the upper world and guided them to the shores of the Acheron, from which the River Styx sprang. From there, Charon transported them in his skiff to the land of the dead. The fee for this service was a single coin, which the dead person's family placed on the corpse (usually under the tongue so no-one would steal it). Those who had not received a proper burial and were unable to pay the fee would be left to wander the earthly side of Acheron, as ghosts.

The River Lethe is the river of forgetfulness and is one of the five rivers of Hades. It was believed that the newly dead who drank from the River Lethe would lose all memory of their past existence. The other four rivers of the underworld are Acheron, Cocytus, Phlegethon, and Styx. Acheron, which means "river of woe", is the river used by the old ferryman Charon would transport the dead from the land of the living to the realm of Hades. Cocytus means "river of lamentation". The people who were not properly buried were doomed to wander the banks of this river for most of their afterlife. Phlegethon was the river of fire. Although the fire burned, it did not consume anything with its flames. Styx means "hate". This was the river that separate the realm of the living from that of the dead. Many accounts say it wraps around Hades nine times.
