Greek mythology tells us why Aconite is so highly poisonous.
It is said to be the fault of Hercules, the only person apart from Orpheus to overcome the hellhound Cerberus, the watchdog of the Underworld.
Defeated by Hercules, the raging hellhound is said to have brushed past an Aconite plant and thus passed on its poisonous anger to the plant.
www.viawala.deDie griechische Mythologie weiß zu berichten, weshalb der Eisenhut so giftig ist.
Herkules soll Schuld sein – neben Orpheus der einzige Bezwinger des Höllenhundes Cerberus, des Wächters der Unterwelt.
Der von Herkules besiegte und wütende Höllenhund soll einen Eisenhut gestreift und dabei seinen giftigen Zorn auf die Pflanze übertragen haben.
