  • Lethe: the river of oblivion in Greek mythology; it is in the Underworld rather than Heaven, but in Dante's Purgatorio it surrounds the Earthly Paradise at the top of Mount Purgatory
  • E. A. Wallis Budge, The Book of the Dead (1920): "Chapters LIV-LXII gave the deceased power to obtain cool water from the Celestial Nile and the springs of waters of heaven, and being identified with Shu, the god of light and air, he was enabled to pass over all the earth at will."
