The River Styx.
Some allusions to Hades in literature and mythology include references to the Greek god of the underworld, such as the River Styx, Cerberus (the three-headed dog guarding the gates of the underworld), and the Elysian Fields (the paradise for heroes in the afterlife). These allusions are often used to symbolize death, darkness, and the unknown. Additionally, the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice is a famous story that involves a journey to the underworld and references Hades.

The Lethe River ran through the plain of Lethe in Hades. Also known as the stream of oblivion, the river flowed around the cave of Hypnos where the murmuring waters caused drowsiness. The shades of the dead were required to drink the water in order to forget their earthly life. Lethe is frequently used as a metaphor for the Underworld in general.
The staff was used to drive shades into the Underworld.
Hades is the Greek word often translated as hell in English. Hades is not really the equivalent of the Christian concept of a pit of fiery torment for the punishment of unrepentant sinners, but the word is used that way in this phrase. It is often thought to be a little more polite than the crass 'hot as hell'.
Two different coins were used: The Obulus and the Danake.
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.
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.

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.
Pluto used to be CONSIDERED a planet. Pluto hasn't changed; the definition of a planet has. Charon is a moon of Pluto; since their masses are more similar than Earth and our Moon, they might be considered a binary system.
