Chair of Forgetfulness is known for being able to erase anyone's mind/memories if they sit on it.
Jay tells everyone that the first one to sit in the chair was Theseus and that he forgot everything, even how to stand and that he couldn't stand up until Hercules picked him up. Jay remembers this due to Persephone sitting on the chair and Theresa said that there was no connection.
Mythology[]
After Peirithous and Theseus' wives died, they pledged to carry off daughters of Zeus; Theseus chose Helen of Troy and together they kidnapped her when she was 13 years old and were going to wait until she was older to marry. Pirithous chose a more dangerous prize, Persephone herself. They travelled to The Underworld and stopped to rest on the Chair of Forgetfulness and found themselves unable to stand up from the rock as they saw The Furies appear before them.
Hercules freed Theseus from the chair, but the Earth shook when he attempted to free Pirithous. He had committed too great a crime for wanting the wife of a god. Hercules was forced to leave Pirithous behind and he eventually passed away. Though this meant that he was now free from the chair, he was now part of the Underworld and unable to return to the land of the leaving.
