It is thought that coriander has been cultivated in Greece for over 4000years! The earliest reference to coriander in Greece - in Myceanaean Greek (‘ko-ri-ja-da-na’) - has been found on the tablets recovered from Pylos in Peloponnese Region in southern Greece. These ‘Linear B tablets’ reveal that coriander was being grown asa herb (for its flavour) and also used in production of perfumes. Later, coriander was mentioned by the famous Greek physician andthe "Father of Medicine"- Hippocrates (c. 400 BC). Greek physician, pharmacologist and botanist, Dioscorides (65 AD) also mentions medicinal use of coriander in his 5-volume encyclopaedia about herbal medicine and related medicinal substances ‘De materiamedica’ (Περὶὕλης ἰατρικῆς). Interestingly this pharmacopeia was widely read for more than 1,500 years. It is believed that he  term ‘coriander’ is derived from the Old French ‘coriandre’, which comes from Latin ‘coriandrum’, in turn from Ancient Greek ‘κορίαννον’ or ‘κορίανδρον’ (koriannonor koriandron) which is thought to be possibly related to ‘κόριςkóris’ meaning ‘a bed bug’ on account of its stinking bed bug-like smell.
