In Greek mythology, according to Plutarch, the 7th century BC Greek poet Alcman said that Ersa / ˈ ɜːr s ə / or Herse / ˈ h ɜːr s iː / (Ἔρσα, Érsa, Ἕρση, Hérsē, literally "dew"), the personification of dew, is the daughter of Zeus and the Moon . [1]
Also, according to the myth, the dew in the morning was created when Eos (Ersa's aunt), goddess of the dawn, cried for her son's death, although later he received immortality. Dew, known in Hebrew as טל (tal), is significant in the Jewish religion for agricultural and theological purposes.

From the 1580s onward, it was applied to the fleshy fold or wattle of a turkey and also to a flaccid, elderly human throat.
