Mint, the famous fragrant plant of the Mediterranean flora has its own special history.
Mint, the jealous daughter of the river Kokytos, threatened Persephone. She was seduced by her love for her husband, Pluto of the Underworld. Her beauty and her sparkle, which is said to have been greater than that of Persephone, did not help her win the love of the god of the Necrocosm. But not to save Dimitra’s month when the threats for her daughter reached her ears.Thus, in a turn of fate, he was transformed by divine command into the “idiosyncratic” plant. The transformation took place in a tragic way. It is said that the mother Dimitra, angry, pressed her body until it dissolved and her ashes rolled on the ground. Mint emerged at the spot. It had broad, green leaves that bore red highlights, from the blood of the nymph who dared to claim God.
