Styx - Mythology. 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.
