It was widely referred to by Shakespeare, who called it "Forward", for it blooms early and heralds the approach of summer. the plant is often described as modest for hiding its dark beauty away in the long grass and for flowering so fleetinglyThere are many stories regarding the Violet's name, but it almost certainly originated in Greece where it was considered the flower of Zeus, the king of the gods, Legend has it that Zeus was in love with a beautiful maiden called Io and in order to protect her from Hera, his jealous wife, he changed her into a beautiful calf. Then in order to feed her with delicacies, he commanded the earth to bring forth a beautiful flower in her honour, which he named Ion, the Greek word for Viola.)
