This name derives from the Ancient Greek “a- (ᾰ̓-) brotós (βροτός) ámbrotos (μβροτος) ambrosíā (ἀμβροσῐ́ᾱ),” meaning “immortal, divine, which belongs to the immortal, ambrosia, the nectar of the gods.” In Ancient Greek mythology, Ambrosia is sometimes the food or drink of the Greek demigods, often depicted as conferring ageless immortality upon whoever consumed it. It was brought to the gods in Olympus by doves so that it may have been thought of in the Homeric tradition as a kind of divine exhalation of the Earth. Ambrosia is sometimes depicted in ancient art as distributed by a nymph labeled with that name. In the myth of Lycurgus, an opponent to the wine god Dionysus, violence committed against Ambrosia turns her into a grapevine.
