It originates in the Mediterranean region and the ancient Greeks called it “marathon” perhaps due to the victory against the Persians in Marathon in 490 BC. It has antiseptic action; it contains flavonoids and is rich in antioxidants. It gives an exquisite taste to various foods such as meat, fish, soups, and raw salads.
