Styx and Alyssos (Video)


This is my visual approach to the visit of Pausanias at Styx and spring Alyssos according to the chapters 18 and 19 of his book eighth.

Actual place, today. This image does not belong to me.

One may find a number of pictures and even videos of hiking by Styx. It is obvious that the information about the toxicity of this water is just a legend. There are almost no information available regarding the spring Alyssos today.
