Olive Wood Resources
According
to Greek mythology Athena, the goddess of wisdom, taught
people to utilize the olive tree in every aspect of life. Both
she and Poseidon, the god of the sea, rivaled to be the patron
of Attica, the section of Greece where the city of Athens was
located. In an effort to decide whom would prove to be the
greater patron of the state, the gods of Mount Olympus devise
a contest in which the winner would be the one that could
offer the best gift to the people of Attica. As a figure of
power and might, Poseidon struck the ground with his trident
and a horse sprang forth. Knowing the people needed a gift
that would benefit them, Athena struck the ground with her
spear, and an olive tree sprung up. As a symbol of peace and
agriculture, the gods decided that the olive tree was a much
better gift than Poseidon's horse, a symbol of war. Hence
forth, Athena was named the patron of Attica, and its foremost
city, Athens, the city of the olive tree, was named after her.
