The findings prove that mint has been used since ancient times in Egypt, Greece, Rome, China and Japan. According to Greek myth, Persephone's beloved wife turned a nymph named Mentha into a mint plant in a fit of rage. According to Pliny, mint was used to crown the Greeks and Romans during festivals.
