In 2000, REO teamed up with Styx for an appearance at Riverport Amphitheater in St. Louis, which was released as a live concert video Arch Allies: Live at Riverport.

Styx was primarily a feature in the afterworld of Greek mythology, and similar to the Christian area of Hell in texts such as The Divine Comedy and " Paradise Lost ".

Styx supported Zeus in the Titanomachy where she was the first to rush to his aid.

This method resembles the Ancient Greek practice of placing an obolus in the corpse's mouth to pay the toll to cross the River Styx in the underworld ; it has been argued that instead, the coin was intended to ward off any evil spirits from entering the body, and this may have influenced later vampire folklore.

A North American tour took place that was co-headlined with Styx and a following European tour concluded in December.

In Greek mythology, Bia (, English translation: " Force ") was the personification of force, daughter of Pallas and Styx, and sister of Nike, Kratos, and Zelus.

In Greek mythology, the river Phlegethon ( Φλεγέθων, English translation: " flaming ") or Pyriphlegethon ( Πυριφλεγέθων, English translation: " fire-flaming ") was one of the five rivers in the infernal regions of the underworld, along with the rivers Styx, Lethe, Cocytus, and Acheron.

" It was parallel to the river Styx.

It is said that the goddess Styx was in love with Phlegethon, but she was consumed by his flames and sent to Hades.

In 1972 the band members decided to choose a new name when they signed to Wooden Nickel Records after a talent scout at a concert at St. John Of The Cross Church in Western Springs IL, James Young's home town. Several suggestions were made, and according to DeYoung, the name Styx ( the river in Greek mythology between Earth and the Underworld ) was chosen because it was " the only one that none of us hated ".

On the strength of these releases and constant playing in local clubs and schools, the band established a fan base in the Chicago area, but was unable to break into the mainstream until an earlier song, the power ballad " Lady " ( from Styx II ), began to earn some radio time, first on WLS in Chicago and then nationwide.

REO once again teamed with Styx in 2003 for the Classic Rock's Main Event tour which also included Journey.

The Styx (, also meaning " hate " and " detestation ") ( adjectival form: Stygian, ) is a river in Greek mythology that formed the boundary between Earth and the Underworld ( often called Hades which is also the name of this domain's ruler ).

" Alan Niester of Rolling Stone also found the album favorable, stating that " although Styx is based in Chicago, the group has its English scam down pat ".
