Greek Mythology > People, Places, & Things > Fennel
The fennel plant; the fodder type plant which grew on the plain of Marathon and from which Marathon got its name, i.e. from the Greek word “maratho” meaning “fennel;” known to us as Foeniculum vulgare.
When Prometheus stole fire from Zeus to give to the mortals on the surface of the earth, he hid the flame in the hollow of a fennel stalk.
