The most significant symbolism of the olive tree is within ancient Greek mythology. One story tells us how Zeus challenged Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, and Poseidon, God of the Sea, to a contest. The winner would become the leader of a city.
Poseidon went first, hitting his trident off a nearby rock producing a powerful, salty spring. Athena, however, had other ideas. She produced a beautiful green, olive tree itโs branches adorned with silver-green foliage and green ripening fruits.
Athena was victorious, winning the hearts and minds of the people. The city of Athens was born. To the citizens of Athens, the olive tree represented food, fuel and shelter, providing them with everything they needed. From this moment on, the olive tree was immortalised in the history books and treasured across ancient Greece
