Description
The river of unmindfulness in Hades, or the Goddess of Oblivion.

Before reincarnation every soul had to drink the water of this river to forget everything about their previous life, to start a brand new one in another body.

An interesting thing about the word "Lethe", is that it is used to form, with the alpha privative, the word "aletheia", that means truth.

Moreover, the Goddess Lethe is the sister the Gods of battles, murders, lies, pain and many orrible others.

I wanted to express those two faces of forgetting: the one that lets you leave behind pain and star again, and on the other hand the one that allows the harm to spread by giving forgiveness.

In this time of my life I'm facing the results of the second one, but I'm not able to use the first and just let go and forget the world. I think I have to waiting for the "aurea mediocritas", the virtue of being wholesomely in the middle.
