The mythological figure who ferried the dead across the river Styx into Hades is Charon. He is often depicted as a grim figure who requires payment for his services, typically in the form of an obol, a small coin placed in the mouths of the deceased. In terms of celestial associations, Charon is also the name of one of Pluto's moons, named after the mythological figure.
