History
Ancient Egyptians used thyme for embalming. The ancient Greeks used it in their baths and burnt it as incense in their temples, believing it was a source of courage.
The spread of thyme throughout Europe was thought to be due to the Romans. As they used it to purify their rooms and to "give an aromatic flavor to cheese and liqueurs".
In the European Middle Ages, the herb was placed beneath pillows to aid sleep and ward off nightmares. Thyme was also used as incense and placed on coffins during funerals, as it was supposed to assure passage into the next life.
The name of the genus of fish Thymallus, originates from the faint smell of thyme that emanates from the flesh.
