'The gift from the gods' according to ancient Greek mythology. The goddess of wisdom and warfare Athena and the god of the oceans Poseidon both competed to become a patron for the flourishing city of Attica. It was decided that the one who could offer the most precious gift to the inhabitants of the city would win.
Poseidon struck the ground with his trident and created a powerful salt-water spring, a symbol of naval power. When it was Athena turn, she planted the first olive tree, which represented prosperity and peace. The grateful people chose the olive tree as a source of food, medicine and wood. Thus, Athena was proclaimed the patron goddess of the city, which was renamed in her honour as Athens.
In the language of flowers, this plant is symbolic of peace, prosperity and happiness in love.
