 HISTORY FROM "GOLD" BEHIND THE PRODUCT

   The fennel , the therapeutic herb of Ancient Greece. But also the fennel the "messenger"! The one who carried in his bulb and in the form of a glowing coal, the message of the Gods of Olympus to the people. Even Prometheus, his most useful gift to mortals, his sacred fire, fennel trusted her. He hid it in a fennel stalk, after stealing it from the other Gods of Olympus and sending it to those who would be eternally grateful to him.

    From the time of Linear B writing, 1450 - 1100 BC, we see fennel written on its plates. It was a basic contribution to the deities who believed and spoke to them through the herb, from the first to the first periods of ancient history!

    Hippocrates wanted to soothes colic in infants of Ancient Greece and discovered its healing power. Stomach aches and pains for babies and adults of the time were a thing of the past! Dioskouridis wanted to increase the milk of breastfeeding mothers by recommending fennel drinks. Finally, fennel was the "weapon" of the ancient Greeks against the loss of unnecessary weight!

   Marathos also had its own city. The legendary Marathon, where Miltiades's military genius was seen in all its glory, defeating the Persians in 490 BC. , was full of fennel that gave it its name!

   MARATHOS IN THE ROMAN AGE AND IN THE MEDIEVAL

    The Romans later named fennel "Foeniculum", apparently because the dried herb resembles dry grass, which in Latin is found with the entry "foenum". Pliny "baptized" fennel and believed in it so much that he recommended its use in more than 10 prescription drugs to cure even the blind.

   During the dark years of the Middle Ages, fennel gave light! During the summer solstice, its leaves hung on the door to ward off "evil" spirits. Its seeds, on the other hand, went into the keyhole to blow away the ghosts away from the entrance!
