Origins of Olive Branch
"The Origins of Olive Branch was started in Ancient Greece when Athena and Poseidon compete in taking Athens as their possession. Poseidon claimed possession by thrusting his trident into the Acropolis, where a well of water gushed out. And Athena claimed possession by planting the first olive tree. And so they choose Athena to claimed Athens instead" Wikipedia
