Love mint with lamb dishes :D

According to Greek legend, Minthe was Hades' lover. Persephone, Hades' wife, found out about Minthe and turned her into a low lying plant to be trod upon. Hades could not undo the spell, but whenever someone stepped on Minthe, the air would fill with a sweet perfume.

From Wikipedia:
In Greek mythology, Minthe (also Menthe, Mentha, Mintho; Greek: Μένθη) was a naiad associated with the river Cocytus. She was dazzled by Hades' golden chariot and was about to be seduced by him had not Queen Persephone intervened and metamorphosed Minthe into the pungently sweet-smelling mint, which some call hedyosmus.
