Talk:Ambrosia

Ambrosia meaning
"Ambrosia" means the object or element that is not mortal or provides that property to beings. The idea that abrosia was edible by gods is mentioned by Homer. Other sources mention that it was an ointment. As a food, it is mentioned to be nine times sweeter that honey. Due to this fact, it was impossible for mortals to taste it, unless a god or a goddess favoured them. When it was applied to the dead, it prevented decaying. When it was given to a mortal to eat, it could grand immortality. According to other sources, mortals were able to eat it without the favour of the gods, and so the gods had to hide it from them, just as in the show. The first appearence of Ambrosia happens in the episode "A Fistful of Dinars". In that episode, the travelers have to visit a Demeter's temple. According to an another myth (from Proclus), the godess Demeter was the only person that could or was allowed to create Ambrosia.
