The name Aster derives from the Greek word “star,” referring to the shape of the flower. According to ancient Greek mythology, the god Jupiter, frustrated by the actions of men, decided to flood the earth to destroy all evil. The goddess Astraea, upset by Jupiter’s decision, asked to be turned into a star. After the waters receded, she realized the number of people killed and wept because of the immense loss. Her tears, as they fell to touch the earth, created what we know now as the beautiful Aster.
In ancient times, people believed that burning Aster leaves could drive serpents away from any space. Also, the French believed that placing the flower on the graves of the fallen soldiers symbolized that the living wished things could have turned out differently.
