The boatman on the River Styx is Charon, a figure from Greek mythology. He is responsible for ferrying the souls of the deceased across the river to the underworld, provided they can pay him with an obol, a small coin placed in the mouth of the deceased. Charon is often depicted as a grim, stern figure, emphasizing the somber nature of his role in guiding souls to their final resting place.
