The cultural legend of mint

Greek mythology tells a love tragedy about mint.

Hades, the god of the underworld, fell in love with the beautiful elf Mansi at first sight and pursued her obsessively. This made Pluto's wife Persephone extremely jealous and angry. In order to make her husband forget his lover and punish Mansi, the cruel Persephone cast a spell to turn her into a roadside grass, which was not only inconspicuous but also could be trampled on by anyone at will.

Although Manxi has turned into a humble grass, her heart is still strong and her beauty cannot be erased. This is reflected in the fact that when she becomes grass, she has a unique, cool and pleasant fragrance. The more this fragrance is destroyed and trampled, the stronger it becomes and the more attractive it becomes. Although it has fallen from a beautiful elf to an ordinary grass, it is loved by more and more people. This grass is mint.
