alétheia *

"So when Häring became concerned with investigating the notion of truth in St. John's Gospel, I told him about the Greek word for truth: alétheia. His perceptive eye immediately picked up in the middle the root Lethe: it is also the name used by Greek mythology for a river in the underworld whose waters cause those who drink them to forget everything. The world a-léth-eia in its linguistic construction means that truth knows no forgetting."
