Not quite mate. the Styx is the river across which all souls must travel to enter the underworld in Greek mythology. Charon was the Ferryman, to whome the souls of the dead would pay a crossing toll. In ancient Greece and other cultures, the dead would be given a coin, to pay the ferryman to pass into the afterlife. And this also give us a song by Chris de Burg 'Dont Pay the Ferryman'.
