Minthe Vs. Mint-Why?

Spearmint is an herbaceous perennial with aromatic leaves. It was sacred to Demeter, Persephone, and Hades. Minthe was a nymph loved by the god Hades. When Minthe boasted that she was superior to his Queen Persephone, either Persephone or her mother Demeter transformed Minthe into the mint plant.
