Nepenthe pron.: /nɨˈpɛnθiː/ (Ancient Greek: Νηπενθές) is a medicine for sorrow, literally an anti-depressant – a “drug of forgetfulness” mentioned in ancient Greek literature and Greek mythology, depicted as originating in Egypt.
The word nepenthe first appears in the fourth book of Homer‘s Odyssey, referenced as a magical potion given to Helen by Polydamna the wife of the noble Egyptian Thon, to quell all sorrows with forgetfulness.
