Menthe

n. (also Minthe) nymph that was changed into a mint plant (Greek Mythology)

In Greek mythology, Minthe (also Menthe, Mentha, Mintho, in 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 metamorphosed Minthe into the pungently sweet-smelling mint, which some call hedyosmus. The –nth– element in menthe is characteristic of a class of words borrowed from a pre-Greek language: compare acanthus, labyrinth, Corinth, etc.
