For Greece and the Greeks, the olive tree is much more than a tree. It is culture, history, tradition and mythology. It is a symbol of peace.
After an analysis of olive pollen that was carried out, the presence of the olive tree in Greece from the Neolithic era is confirmed. Its systematic cultivation was also certified in the Mycenaean period in various parts of Greece. Also the paintings of Linear B ‘from the archives of the palaces of Knossos, Pylos and Mycenae testify to its economic importance during the 14th and 13th century BC.
The olive tree in ancient Greece
The Greeks from antiquity have proved with their choices the value they give to the olive tree and its products. The citizens of then-Attica chose the offer of the goddess “Athena” the olive tree to become the protector of their city and so the city was named “Athens”. The Athenians respected and evaluated the olive tree very quickly and gave it legal protection in the city. The olive wreath that Athena first wore became a symbol of peace, wisdom, fertility, prosperity, victory, luck and civilization, so the first olive tree was planted by Athena on the Acropolis according to Greek mythology. and their spiritual well-being in the consumption of olive tree products.The ancient Greek physician Hippocrates called olive oil the “Great Healer”.
Odysseas Elytis spoke about Greece and the olive tree.
If you disintegrate Greece, in the end you will see that you are left with an olive tree, a vineyard and a boat.
Which means: with so much more you rebuild it.
