Description
Rosemary in ancient Greece was dedicated to the goddess Venus or Aphrodite, since it was wrapped around her when she emerged from the sea. In ancient and modern Greece it was burned as incense for ceremonial purposes in the temples of the gods and churches. Hippocrates said that if you burned it outdoors it purified the air. Ancient Greeks also believed that it stimulated the mind and aided memory so the students used to wear it around their necks and weave it in their hair.
