""
Drinking from the river Lethe ("forgetfulness" or "oblivion") caused
complete forgetfulness. Some ancient Greeks believed that souls
were made to drink from the river before being reincarnated,
so they would not remember their past lives.

Some private mystery religions taught the existence of another river,
the Mnemosyne; those who drank from the Mnemosyne would remember
everything and attain omniscience.

я согласна, Митя.
хотя мне многое хочется "объяснить", назвать, но я уже понимаю, что это неверно, что это высвечивает лишь часть - ту, которую я сумела увидеть, но ведь сколького не сумела!
