What was the river Lethe also called?

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.


Is Hades a place of fire?

Sheol (Hebrew word), Hades (Greek word) and Hell (English word), words used in the Bible seem to mean "the common grave of mankind". However it is observed that the Christian concept of "Hell" is actually closer to an Ancient Greek place called Tartarus. Which is below Hades itself, which was used to torment and punish people, whereas Hades was just an afterlife prison. In Ancient Greek literature, Hades (and Tartarus too) is certainly a fiery place. There are writings of a river in Hades made of fire in the called Phlegethon, which means fire, flaming or fiery.

How did Pluto and its moons get their names?

The Romans named the five planets closest to the sun after their most important gods. These were the only planets that were bright enough for them to see. Later, when telescopes were used, other planets were discovered. Astronomers decided to continue naming the planets after Roman gods. At the time of Pluto's discovery, it was considered to be a planet (it is now classified as a dwarf planet). Being very cold and the farthest from the sun, Pluto was named after the Roman god of death. According to Roman myth, when someone died, they traveled down to the Underworld. First, they had to cross the River of the Dead, called the river Styx. Everyone was buried with a coin, to pay the ferryman, Charon, who would carry the dead across the river Styx in his boat. Pluto's major moon is named Charon after this ferryman of the Underworld. The other two moons, Nix and Hydra, are named for Charon's mother (Nyx) and the serpent guardian of the underworld.
