Extrait du document
Greek One of the eldest Oceanids, or water
Nymphs, of which there were thousands, all daughters
of the Titans Oceanus and Tethys. Styx, like many
of the oldest Oceanids, was often counted among the
Titans. She guarded the river in the Underworld (1)
that carried her name, Styx.
The god Pallas fell in love with Styx and together
they had four children: Zelus (Zeal), Nike (Victory),
Cratus (Strength), and Bia (Violence). An ardent
follower of Zeus, the great Olympian god, in his
battle with the Titans, Styx persuaded her children to
fight with the Olympians in the battle against their
father and the rest of the Titans. Zeus rewarded her
by granting all of the oaths made in her name.
