I believe the answer is:

lethe

(Other definitions for lethe that I've seen before include "Classical river of forgetfulness" , "Oblivion; river of the underworld" , "River whose waters caused the souls of the dead to forget completely their life on Earth" , "Ethel's mythical river of forgetfulness" , "In Greek myth, the river of forgetfulness flowing through Hades" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
