There is a lot of information about olive oil in mythology, let's listen to these;
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.
İIn the Iliad, Homer sits under an olive tree, and the olive tree tells him: "I belong to everyone, I don't belong to anyone, I was here before you came, I will be here after you leave."
According to Greek mythology, Zeus will protect the city to the one who gives him the most precious gift and opens a competition for it.
Poseidon, the god of the seas, presents Zeus with a horse that can fly to distant lands and will not be defeated in battle. Athena is the olive tree. The competition is tough because they both want to give Zeus the most beautiful gift in the world. An invincible warrior horse that could undoubtedly travel to the farthest lands of the world is the perfect gift, but the olive tree is more perfect. In the face of the magnificence of the olive tree, all Gods and Goddesses, especially Zeus, were fascinated and stunned by the flawlessness of the tree. Despite all his ambition and desire to win, even Poseidon was so impressed by the olive tree that he accepts the superiority of the olive tree despite the conflict between them. Thereupon, Athena breaks a branch from the olive tree and gives it to Poseidon, and thus 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. The phrase of extending an olive branch to the enemy has come from this myth in almost all languages. Because the olive tree is of beauty and holiness that even your enemy cannot break. The two main trees forbidden to cut in the world are olive and mastic trees. Unless chemicals are spilled on their bottom, or a group that hates the world, nature, and the good future of our children, they will live forever without mercy and greed. Olive is eternity.
