Styx threatens Apollo with vengeance for his broken oaths, but ultimately dismisses the vision, annoyed by Apollo's Lethe-induced half-amnesia. As Apollo fights Python , they both end up in in the river before they are swept into Tartarus. The River Styx is also part of a powerful oath that can be made between any groups of people.
Breaking an oath on the Styx is extremely unwise for anyone due to the fact that once you swear upon it, the Fates are now watching. Gods who break oaths on the Styx apparently "get off lightly" on the account of being immortal, such as when Zeus and Poseidon broke the oath of having no more demigod children after the end of World War II. It is unknown what would happen if a lesser entity were to break an oath on the Styx, but it is considered unpleasant.
According to the myths the books are based on, the consequences for breaking an oath made upon it are supposed to be extreme. The oath-breaker is supposed to be exiled from the assembly of gods for ten years and be denied nectar or ambrosia during this time. The first year they lie in a coma-like state unable to move in any way. The rest they are denied attending any of the assemblies or festivals of the gods for nine years. Despite this, Hades, Zeus and Poseidon avoided this. Since Zeus is in charge of enforcing oaths there was no one to force him to go into exile.
His importance in the council and the fact that he maintains order on Mount Olympus probably had something to do with it as well. This was probably brought about by his great arrogance and general dislike for following his own rules. Poseidon's status and power no doubt protected him as well making exiling him too difficult.
Anyone who bathes in the River Styx will be gifted with the strength, power, speed, and near invincibility of Achilles. The only spot where one who has bathed in the River Styx is vulnerable is in their Achilles' Heel , a spot of the bather's choosing which will keep them grounded to the real world and their mortal life after they bathe in the river. If the person doesn't focus on that point while bathing in the river, their soul will be incinerated, washed away in the current.
Achilles' ghost appears to anyone who wishes to receive the curse, warning them not to. The ghost claims it will affect them highly, but it shows few signs in Percy.
