From here were inspired several poets, one of which, Juvenal, explained that the origin the precious fungus at that time called "terrae tuber, is due to a lightning bolt hurled by Zeus in the vicinity of an oak (tree held sacred to the father of the gods). As Jupiter was also known for his prodigious sexual activity, truffle has always been attributed aphrodisiac qualities. the science that studies the truffles and the name derives from the greek idnologia ydnon.
