History - In Ancient Greek, fennel was called marathon. This is the origin of the placename Marathon (meaning place of fennel), site of the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC. Greek Mythology claims Prometheus used the stalk of a fennel plant to steal fire from the gods. In medieval times fennel was used in conjunction with St Johns Wort to keep away witchcraft and other evil things. This might have originated because fennel can be used as an insect repellant.
