Mint is named after the nymph Mintha, the object of Hades' love and the object of Persephone's jealousy which transformed her into a plant. The Ancient Greeks believed that mint was a sexual stimulant and prohibited soldiers from using it. Similarly, mint was known in Arabic cultures as the plant of harems.
