For the
butterfly genus, see
Lethe (genus). In
Classical Greek, Lethe (λήθη; lêthê) literally means "forgetfulness" or "concealment". It is related to the Greek word for "truth": a-lethe-ia (αλήθεια), meaning "un-forgetfulness" or "un-concealment". In
Greek mythology, Lethe is one of the several rivers of
Hades: those who drank from it experienced complete forgetfulness. Lethe was also a
naiad, the daughter of
Eris ('Strife' in
Hesiod's Theogony). The naiad Lethe is probably a separate personification of forgetfulness rather than a reference to the river which bears her name.
