They are sometimes referred to as the Manes of the dead.

Lenaeus (Lenae′us). One of the names of Bacchus.

Lerna (Ler′na). The lake or swamp near Argos where Hercules conquered the Lernaean Hydra.

Lethe (Le′the). One of the rivers of the infernal regions, of which the souls of the departed are obliged to drink to produce oblivion or forgetfulness of everything they did or knew while alive on the earth.

Lethe, the river of oblivion, rolls

Her watery labyrinth, whereof who drinks

Forthwith his former state and being forgets,

Forgets both joy and grief, pleasure and pain.”

Milton.
