“This is the Memory.

When you are about to die, you will go to the spacious halls of Hades;

a spring is on the right, and by it stands a bright cypress tree;

there the descending souls of the dead refresh themselves.

Do not go near to this spring at all.

Further on you will find, from the lake of Memory,

refreshing water flowing forth. But guardians are nearby.

They will ask you, with sharp minds,

what you seek in the misty shadow of Hades.

Say: ʺI am the child of Earth and starry Heaven;

and I am parched with thirst and I perish; but give me quickly

refreshing water to drink from the lake of Memory.ʺ

And then they will speak to the underworld king,

and then they will give you to drink from the lake of Memory,

and you, having drunk, will go along the sacred road that the

other famed initiates and bacchics travel.”

- from the Orphic Tablets.
