SLIDESHOW - Collection of artworks – quince in Art. 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.

SLIDESHOW - Collection of artworks – quince in Art. Toamnă cu aromă de gutui. Cultivarea gutuiului poate fi anterioară mărului, și este posibil ca mărul citat în Cântarea Cântarilor să fi fost în realitate un gutui. Vechii greci ofereau gutui la nunți, ritual care a venit din Orient împreună cu zeița Afrodita. Plutarh relatează că miresele în Grecia mușcau dintr-o gutuie pentru a parfuma sărutul înainte de a intra în camera nupțială „ca primul sărut să nu fie dezagradabil" („Întrebări romane" 3.65). Era o gutuie premiul pe care Paris l-a dat Afroditei. Cel mai bun tip de gutui venea din regiunea Cydonia, pe coasta nord-estică a insulei Creta, fruct cunoscut de greci ca "Mela kudonia" sau " măr de Cydonia" de unde provine de asemenea și numele ei stiințific.
