Mythological river around the underworld

I believe the answer is:

styx

(Other definitions for styx that I've seen before include "Charon's 26 carried dead souls across this river" , "River separating Earth from Hades" , "Infernal runner" , "River Charon rowed on" , "River crossed at death" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
