| quote = The opium poppy is named for sleep: Somnus is the Roman name for Hypnos, the god of sleep. Nyx, the goddess of night, carries poppies in her hand, while her son, Thanatos, death, wears a poppy garland. Hermes, the shaman god who travels between the worlds, carries a staff that brings sleep. His home was Mekone, "poppy town," the place where Prometheus stole fire. | |||
