Photius Lex.: Μίνθα, τὸ παρ' ἐνίοις ἡδύοσμον· εἰς ὃ μεταβάλλειν φασὶ τὴν ᾍδου παλλακὴν, ἀφ' ἧς καὶ τὸ περὶ τὴν Ἦλιν ὅρος· Ζηνόδοτος δὲ τὴν Ἴυγγα ὑπ' ἐνίων Μίνθαν λέγεσθαι, θυγατέρα μὲν οὖσαν Πειθοῦς, Ναΐδα δὲ νύμφην· Ἀριστοκλῆς δὲ ἐν τῷ Περὶ γιγάντων διαπλασθῆναι τὸν ἐπ' αὐτῇ μῦθον διὰ τὸ καρπῶδες εὑρεθὲν τῷ καταφρονηθῆναι τὸ φυτόν.
