The Diocese of Lethe (Latin: Dioecesis Letaea), was a bishopric of the Roman provinceofMacedonia Prima in the civil diocese of the same name. Lethe was located in the area of Aïvati (Khaïvati), which is situated west of Lake KoroneiainGreece. The bishopric was a suffragan of the archbishopric of Thessalonica.[1]

History[edit]

The exact location of Lethe is unknown to Michel Le Quien, the author of the work Oriens Christianus. However, the area was identified as Aïvati (Khaïvati) west of Lake KoroneiainGreece. Lethe was one of the ancient bishoprics[2] of the Roman provinceofMacedonia Prima in the civil diocese of the same name, a suffragan of the archdiocese of Thessalonica.[3]

Since the 18th century, Lethe has been included among the titular bishopric sees of the Catholic Church.[4] The seat has been vacant since February 1, 2022.
