wtf, styx? styx sucks!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25042174


yes, it does !

Even if those other names make more sense regarding all the other moons/planets names based on ancient mythology;

but it would be fun to have at least one little moon namend after something what refers to nowadays tales, even if no one will understand it´s origin in about 100yrs.

fyi about the meaning of those other names:
The ancient grecian god of underworld Pluto is equivalent with the ancient romanian god of underworld Hades;
In ancient grecian mythology, Hades is the name of the underworlds god as well as the underworld itself; you have to cross river Styx to get there, and Cerberus is the dog that secures the entrance of hades.
Persephone is a goddess of the underworld as well, daughter of Zeus and was once kidnapped by Hades and brought there.
As no one get´s back to the upper world, she had to stay there and rules with Hades.
As the mythology goes, Orpheus´ wife Eurydike died due to a snake bite, and as he missed her so much, he went all the way down to Hades to persuade him to get his beloved wife back; Hades and Persephone allowed him to take here but under one condition; well,he messed up.

So how did Orpheus mess up? (He probably didn't ask for directions. Lol!!) Is this the story which explains the Seasons, that his Beloved can only be on the surface of Earth for 6 months and then she has to go back underground for 6 months?

Thanks for posting this, OP, 5 stars and a suggest pin bump I sent this to pretty much everyone on my address list so perhaps they can forward it to THEIR friends. Not everyone participates in Twitter and Facebook!
