According to ancient Greek mythology, all the plants in the mentha genus get their name from a nymph called Minthe. Minthe had an affair with Hades, god of the underworld. Upon finding out this betrayal, Hades' wife, Persephone, cursed the nymph and turned her into a plant. But Hades, who seems to have caught feelings, turned his once lover from a useless plant into one that would be beloved for all humanity.Â
