Prosperity, victory, regeneration, strength, and optimism are all symbols of this flower.
Poseidon and Athena fought for dominance of Athens, so Zeus set up a competition. Poseidon created a saltwater well with his trident. The olive tree that yielded fruit was fashioned by Athena. The olive tree was chosen by the Athenians as a symbol of prosperity and hope. The winner of the Olympics in ancient Greece was crowned with an olive branch wreath. This was a victory sign. King Xerxes set fire to Athens in the fifth century. The olive trees began to regenerate shortly after that. In ancient Greece, this represented hope and renewal. The Cithaeron lion was defeated by Hercules using olive tree wood. The olive tree is connected with strength because of this.
