ambrosia

noun: (classical mythology) the food and drink of the gods; mortals who ate it became immortal
noun: a mixture of nectar and pollen prepared by worker bees and fed to larvae

In the ancient Greek myths, ambrosia (Greek: "immortality") is sometimes the food or drink of the Greek gods, often depicted as conferring longevity or immortality upon whoever consumed it. It was brought to the gods in Olympus by doves.

Ambrosia is sometimes depicted in ancient art as distributed by a nymph labeled with that name. In the myth of Lycurgus, an opponent to the wine god Dionysus, violence committed against Ambrosia turns her into a grapevine. Wikipedia, Ambrosia
