In Greek mythology, Charon was the ferryman of the Underworld, who's duty was the ferry the souls of the dead across the Rivers Acheron and Styx. According to Hesiod's Theogony, Charon is considered to be a child of Erebus (Primordial God of Darkness) and Nyx (Primordial Goddess of Night.
They were Acheron, Cocytus, Phlegethon, Lethe, and Styx. Each of them served their own purpose. Acheron - The word Acheron itself means the river of woe. A fitting name indeed for this river. This is the river that the old ferryman Charon ferried the dead across from the land of the living to the realm of Hades. Cocytus - The word Cocytus means river of lamentation. Those who died and were not properly buried were stuck walking about the banks of this river for most of their afterlife. Phlegethon - This was the river of fire in Hades.
