@Ganymede Randomly, when in Italy in 2001, my folks and I went to one of the places that was historically rumored to be one of the entrances to the River Styx. (No, really!)
Not only was it pretty dang neat, but I got to tell my friends, "My parents dragged me to the gates of Hell for summer vacation," and mean it. (Which is one of those things that should be in the 'RL things I love' post, for real.) It also featured a tiny little old man who handed us actual torches to carry through the caves while he led the tour; his family had owned the land for years and whatnot (you can see him in a write-up of the place here).
PA has nothing on that. Nothing.
