The River of Styx was one of five rivers that separated the world of the living from the world of the dead in Greek mythology. When people think of Styx it often brings to mind the ancient practice of putting a coin in a deceased person’s mouth so that they could pay the ferryman, Charon, to take them across the rivers and into the underworld proper. Those that couldn’t pay their fare were not allowed into the underworld and were left to just wander about just on the other side of death but not quite into the afterlife. (Technically Styx wasn’t on Charon’s route; Charon mainly operated on the Acheron.)

I’m pretty sure that these two drawings both represent me. At the time I did these drawings I had just accepted that my break-up with the Purple Girl was final; I had also just moved out of an apartment building I had lived in for a year. Before I wrote this post I had always wondered why I was crossing the River of Styx – after all, I was rapidly recovering from a long depression! I was more alive than I had been in years. But thinking about Styx as a divider between the living and the dead makes sense when you factor in my break-up. The break-up represented death and I was no longer waiting along the ‘dreary coast’ and was in the process of crossing into the next land.
