An ancient Mediterranean legend tells of Athena and Poseidon who challenged each other to offer the most beautiful gift to the people, Zeus would have been the judge of the competition between the two powerful deities. Poseidon, created the most powerful and fastest horse, capable of winning all battles. Athena, on the other hand, gave birth to a beautiful tree from the earth, which healed wounds, cured diseases and offered nourishment, giving well-being and peace to all the people who would cultivate it. Zeus enraptured by the beauty of Athena's gift, blessed the leaves saying: "You gave men the olive tree and with it you gave light, food and an eternal symbol of peace".
