Established in the 17th century BC, when the discussion of which god will protect Athens comes to the agenda, Zeus gathers the Assembly of Gods. According to the decision taken, the god or goddess who gave the most valuable gift to the new city will win the competition and become the protector of Athens. Determined to win the race, Poseidon creates a horse that will be very useful in wars from the sea and brings it to the attention of the assembly. The horse is truly dazzling, with its ability to run almost as fast as the wind and its powerful appearance.
The gift of Pallas Athena, goddess of mind, science and art, is an olive branch. This tree will grow and live for hundreds of years. A healthy liquid will be obtained from the fruit of the tree that will help prepare delicious meals. This liquid will heal wounds, shine bright at night, embrace people with its shadow in hot weather, and warm them with its wood. Athena is the winner of the race.
The tree is planted in the Acropolis. The olive tree, the symbol of peace, has now become the representative of established culture and abundance.
Stay safe .
