Ok, an easy one so long as you don't follow the wrong path

Fire
Lamentation
Kipper
Woe
Hate
Forgetfulness

What is the connection

Still thinking... can't see any path yet !!

The five rivers of Hades are:
Phlegethon (fire),
Cocytus (lamentation),
Acheron (the river of sorrow or woe),
Styx (hate), and
Lethe (forgetfulness)


Those are the five rivers of Hades and you've thrown in the Hebrew word for atone (kipper, kippur). Or you have a KIPPER (Kids In Parents Pockets Eroding Retirment [Savings]) and are lamenting the fact? Or is it just that a kipper is a red herring and is thus not the path to follow?

Full marks to Underquark, he goes to the top of the class

Didn't I say it was an easy one, that's why I threw in a red herring (a ignoratio elenchi ) to try and confuse you.

Besides hate, the Styx can also be know as the river of Unbreakable Oath.

Besides hate, the Styx can also be know as the river of Unbreakable Oath.

I was under the impression that it was the river of death, to be crossed upon dying.

From the Oxford Dictionary of Classical Myth & Religion:
Charon, mythological ferryman, who ferries the shades across a river (usually Acheron(woe)) or a lake (Acherusia) into Hades proper.

Records Styx.

Records Acheron.

We should hopefully see a good close-up picture of Charon in 2015.

Charon a companion planet?/ moon to Pluto.
