According to Greek myth, Persephone was jealous of Pluto's affections for the nymph Minthe, so she summoned her powers to diminish Minthe into a low, common plant. Pluto, unable to reverse Persephone's spell, was able to lessen the curse by giving Minthe a scent that grew sweeter the more it was tread upon. The name Minthe changed to and became the name for this genus of extremely useful herbs.
