237/365 Something Minty

The herb Mentha gets its name from Minthe. In Greek mythology, Minthe was a woman who was turned into a plant by Persephone, wife of Hades God of the Underworld. Persephone found out Hades was in love with Minthe so she turned her into a plant so people would walk all over her. Hades unable to undo the curse so he gave the plant a sweet perfume so people wouldn't walk on the plant.

 

I guess you could say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
