Lethe Project:
“… trying to remember, feeling deep within myself a tract of soil reclaimed from the waters of Lethe slowly drying” Marcel Proust Near the end of Plato’s Republic, The myth of ER had the dead nearing the Plain of Lethe through which passed the River Ameles. For the shades of the dead, to drink from Ameles was to forget everything, to forget heaven and be born. Some thought another river - the Mnemosyne – caused a soul to remember and that one had a choice from which to drink upon reaching the plane of Lethe. In another account, Lethe was the river, one of the five of Hades. Lethe was also a goddess whose qualities were forgetfulness, oblivion, concealment.
