Literary writers invoke Lethe as a potent emblem of oblivion and the erasure of memory. Its mythic connotation—as a river whose waters grant forgetfulness—is employed both literally and metaphorically. At times, a character might be offered a golden cup of its water to escape painful pasts [1], while in other works, Lethe signifies a state of mental numbness, a intoxication that blurs the distinction between dream and reality [2]. Its recurring presence, whether depicted as a natural river that cleanses the soul or as a metaphor for the bittersweet loss of remembrance [3, 4], underscores literature’s enduring fascination with the balance between forgetting and the weight of memory [5].
