In Greek, thyme represents "courage," referring to the tiny teardrops of Queen Helen, which increased the warriors' courage to kill the enemy. Therefore, at that time, ladies would send a sprig of thyme to their beloved warrior lover or husband before he set off for battle, conveying encouragement and love, or they would embroider a thyme pattern on his battle robe, hoping he would return victorious.
