Mythology

There is an ancient Greek myth of the nymph Syrinx, who, fleeing from God Pan, realized that escape does not work, and become a shrub. This shrub disappointed Ban made the sweet-sounding flute and called it siringoy.Tak same call and bushes, which like the ancient Greeks for its beautiful flowers.

General

Lilac (Syringa Vulgaris) - the closest relative of the olive. Wild-growing lilacs is adjacent to the olive trees throughout the territory of the former Persia, now Iran and Turkey. For years, these countries were regarded as the birthplace of lilacs, so the bushes with luxuriant blossom in common parlance called "Persian".
In modern Europe, lilacs came in 1562 when the Austrian ambassador to the Ottoman sultan von Busbekius first brought her to the bushes from Constantinople to Vienna. In 1601 bush had reached Paris, and in 1640, and the British Isles.
