The river Lethe is believed to have flowed through the caves of Hypnos, the god of sleep, in the underworld. The entrance to the cave is said to be populated with poppies and other hypnotic plants. Neither light nor sound entered the cave. The river bordered Elysium, the paradise where only heroes, and mortals related to the gods, were sent to live an immortal life of happiness. The names of the five rivers of Hades reflected the emotions associated with death: the Styx - the river of hate, the Acheron - the river of pain, the Cocytus - the river of wailing, the Phlegethon - the river of fire, and the Lethe - the river of sorrow. river of oblivion This painting alludes to all this, whose river can be freely chosen by the viewer
