Olive Legends

According to Greek mythology, Zeus will give him the protection of the city to give him a good gift. It opens a contest for that. Poseidon, the god of the sea, presents a horse to Zeus who can fly away even in the wilderness and not be defeated in battle. Athena is the olive tree ...

The contest is a gang. Because they both want to give Zeus the best gift of the world. Undoubtedly an invincible warrior horse that can go to the farthest lands of the world is a perfect gift. But the olive tree is more perfect. Faced with the enormity of the olive tree, all the gods, especially Zeus, were fascinated by the gods and froze in the face of the tree's sanctity. Despite all the ambition and desire to win, even Poseidon was so influenced by the olive tree that, despite the contradiction between them, the olive accepts the superiority of the tree. Athena breaks a branch from the olive tree and gives it to Poseidon, and the enmity between them disappears in the face of the unrivaled beauty of the olive tree. After that day, Athena's name is given to the city of Athens. To extend the olive grove to the dungeon, it is said that this mitten has come to almost all languages. Because the olive tree is beauty and sanctuary that even your enemy can not resist.

God tells the Prophet to build a ship to Noah, and to keep this life after the flood, one of the clean animals shall be called a male one female, two male and female neighbors of every clean animal, and seven birds, male and female, from birds.
All the living creatures except the living creatures on the ship of Hz. Noah are destroyed by the waters. When the flood stopped, Prophet Noah delivered a pigeon out of the window of the house to see if life had returned to normal. The pigeon returns to the boat as the waters retreat and life is not returning to normal. Seven days later, when the pigeon is released again from the window, a newly cut olive returns to the mouth of the pigeon. Then it is understood that water is pulling on the earth and life is returning to normal.
The pigeon, the hope, and the peace that keep the olive branch in the mouth after that day will become the symbol of immortality, while the olive tree that can survive the life of the world, besides the destruction of the whole world and the living beings, becomes the symbol of immortality.

The most prominent symbol of Athena, the goddess of spiritual brightness, which represents intelligence, intelligence and art, is the olive tree, the tree of its own creation.

After the occupation the olive tree among the ruins of the acropolis sprouts, revives and its exiles are sown all over Greece. It is said that all the olive trees that have been created for this reason have grown from this first olive tree created by Athena.

In the epic of the Iliad, where Homeros thought to have lived in the 8th century, the olive tree and olive oil were richly depicted and likened to the likeness of olive oil.
