In ancient Greek mythology, It is stated that the name of Athens, which was founded in B.C.17, was determined by an olive branch. Accordingly, Zeus gathers the council of gods to name the city to be established. He says that the god or goddess who gave the city the most precious gift will give the city its name and be its protector. Poseidon, the god of the sea, creates a horse that will be very useful in battles from the sea and brings it to the attention of the assembly. The gift of Athena, the goddess of mind, science and art, is an olive branch. This tree will live for hundreds of years, people will feed on its fruit. In addition, a liquid will be obtained from the fruit of the tree. This liquid will heal wounds and brighten at night. Athena is the winner of the competition. The olive tree is planted in the Acropolis. It is said that still all olive trees have grown from this first olive tree created by Athena.
