In [[Greek]] [[mythology]], '''Lethe''' was the river of forgetfulness, one of five rivers in [[Hades]], the subterranean realm of the dead. Anyone who drank from Lethe lost their memory, and the shades of the dead were required to do so in order to forget their life on Earth.<ref>http://www.theoi.com/Khthonios/PotamosLethe.html</ref>.

Unlike the other rivers in Hades, Lethe does not appear in [[Dante's Inferno]]. Instead, it flows through the [[Eden|Earthly Paradise]], where souls that have passed through [[Purgatory]] must drink from it in order to forget their [[sin]]s, as preparation for entering [[Heaven]].<ref>[[Purgatorio]], canto XXXII</ref>
