Stygian (Adj): Gloomy; hellish; deathly; infernal.The Barron’s quote “Stygian derives form Styx the chief river in subterranean land of the dead”. But there is more to this story. People remember Troy? The mother Achilles in order to immortal dipped in the river Styx. But she forgot to dip in water his heel by which she was holding him (Such a foolish thing to do isn’t it?) The terms such Achilles heel are derived from the vulnerability of his heels.
