Hyginus, at the beginning of his Fabulae, lists sixteen names, while elsewhere he gives the names of ten others.

Her name was also given to Lethe, the river of oblivion in the Underworld. [2] Like all of the children of Eris, as given by Hesiod, Lethe is a personified abstraction, allegorizing the meaning of her name, and representing one of the many harmful things which might be thought to result from discord and strife, with no other identity.
