The plant, which the Ancient Greeks called silphion (silphium), was a golden-flowered plant. It was once the most sought-after product in the Mediterranean even before the rise of Athens and the Roman Empire.

It is believed that the plant with yellow flowers attached to a thick stalk was crushed, roasted, sauteed, and boiled for medicinal purposes, food, and even contraception.

TheRealLinga,

Oooo the plant gets you pregnant? That naughty plant

BottleOfAlkahest,

Contraception prevents pregnancy. Conception would be to get someone pregnant

MurphysPaw,

I read ‘conception’, too. Dont feel bad

TheRealLinga,

Thank you! My poor brain needs a do-over
