The river of lamentation, one of the five rivers of Hades in classical mythology; later adapted by Dante as the ninth and lowest circle of Hell.
At the center of the eighth circle is a deep well, at the bottom of which is found the ninth circle, known as Cocytus.

The lowest level in hell, where people are permanently frozen in ice.
