Rosemary comes from the Latin ros marinus meaning "dew of the sea" because often it needed no water to survive other than the humidity carried on the sea winds. It was believed that it was one of the many sea plants covering Aphrodite as she emerged from the sea.
Thyme was believed to be a source of Courage to the ancient Greeks, who often burned it, incense-style.
Parlsey was used like it is today
Tansy was used as a bitter herb for medicinal puposes.
The only plant I know of that represented immortality to the Greeks was Acanthus.
