acantha

n. spike, thorn (Botany); spiny process (Zoology); spinal column; projecting part of a vertebra

Acantha was a minor character in Greek mythology. She was a nymph and was loved by Apollo, the sun god. In one version of the story, Acantha refused Apollo's advances and scratched his face when he tried to rape her. Apollo then turned her into an acanthus plant. Another version says that she was the spirit of the acanthus tree and turned into a "sun-loving herb" upon her death. Yet another version features Acantha as a male human who returned Apollo's advances.
