Also known as the ''Ameles potamos'' (river of unmindfulness), the Lethe flowed around the cave of Hypnos and through the Underworld where all those who drank from it experienced complete forgetfulness.

It is related to the Greek word for "truth", ''aletheia'' (ἀλήθεια), which through the privative alpha literally means "un-forgetfulness" or "un-concealment".
