The poppy is a term used of the flowers in the family Papaveraceae, informally known as the 'poppy family'.
History
5th century BCE
In 5th century BCE Greece, the poppies were commonly known as the 'flowers of Aphrodite', said to have been planted by the Greek goddess of love and beauty herself. The blacksmith of Opous, Kosta, asked the Spartan misthios Kassandra to gather some of the flowers from the nearby forest of the Red Lake, as he believed they would have an invigorating effect on a human, carrying "the fire from one's heart to one's crotch".[1]
Due to their red colour, the flowers were also grown in abundance throughout Lakonia during the Peloponnesian War.[2]
1st century BCE
In the 1st century BCE Egypt the Medjay Bayek of Siwa found a mace named Minoan Poppy Pin, named so due to the similarity of the mace's head to the seedpod of the poppy.[3]
Renaissance
During the Renaissance, Ezio Auditore gathered papaver silvaticum in Rome. It was noted as the source of the addicting drug opium, named after the flower.[4] Later, the Italian Assassins would use poppies with nutmeg and ricinus to craft one of their many poisons, with Tessa Varzi proving exceptionally competent and comfortable in creating and using the mixtures.[5]
19th century
In Victorian era United Kingdom, gathering flowers was a pastime well looked-upon, and the hobby grew popular enough for a book to be written on the meanings of different flowers. The British Assassins Evie Frye and Henry Green participated in it as well, communicating their relationship in a covert manner.[6] The poppies of the species Papaver orientale, the Oriental poppy, were among the ones they gathered. According to the Language of Flowers, the red poppy was a symbol of consolation, while the white poppy was used to express "my bane, my antidote." The poppies' juice was also noted to be used as a sedative for both pain and restlessness.[7]
