[edit] A fanciful retelling
This is not a good way to handle Greek myth: "Minthe: “Mint” She was an Underworld Nymph who loved Hades and lay in his bed. But when he fell in love with Persephone and made her his Queen, he refused his former lover; Minthe boasted she would supplant the young Goddess in the affections of Hades, saying she was nobler of form and more excellent in beauty than Persephone and she bragged that Hades would return to her and banish the other. She was crushed beneath the foot of an angry Demeter, whom would not allow a Nymph, defame her daughter’s name. From her foot sprang a lowly plant that gave a sweet sent when crushed, called Mint." I hope Wikipedians can see that these spurious motivations do not elucidate the myth. --Wetman 05:27, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
