 | | "Lethe" comes from Greek mythology — it's the river in Hades that makes the souls of the dead forget their previous lives. "Lethologica" is a somewhat-obscure term for being unable to remember a certain word or name. A related medical condition is called "aphasia" — "the loss of ability to understand or express speech." |  |
