Cultivation of quince may have preceded apple culture,
and many references translated to "apple", such as the
fruit in Song of Songs, may have been a quince. Among
the ancient Greeks, the quince was a ritual offering at
weddings, for it had come from the Levant with
Aphrodite and remained sacred to her. Plutarch reported
that a Greek bride would nibble a quince to perfume her
kiss before entering the bridal chamber, "in order that
the first greeting may not be disagreeable nor
unpleasant". It was with a quince that Paris awarded
Aphrodite. It was for a golden quince that Atalanta
paused in her race. The Romans also used quinces; the
Roman cookbook of Apicius gives recipes for stewing
quince with honey, and even combining them,
unexpectedly, with leeks. Pliny the Elder mentioned the
one variety, Mulvian quince, that could be eaten raw.
Columella mentioned three, one of which, the "golden
apple" that may have been the paradisal fruit in the
Garden of the Hesperides, has donated its name in Italian
to the tomato, pomodoro.
