Usage notes
[edit]- The grammatical gender of Styx in the sense of the mythological river can be both masculine and feminine, but the feminine seems obsolete. Current grammar manuals suggest only masculine. (The feminine gender was proposed e. g. in a textbook for secondary schools by M. Blažek in 1877.[1]) However, when speaking about the goddess of the river, the feminine gender has to be used.
