Gifts of the Gods
To start, it must have olives. Today, Marathonas lies quiet, the only sounds are the swish of a scythe as a gardener mows the flowery grass of the great burial mound, and the rustle of the gray-green leaves of the olive trees. Legend has it that when Athens was new, several gods wanted it to take their name. The wily citizens agreed to name it after whoever gave the most valuable gift. Poseidon, god of sea, seemed set to win when he gave the horse and explained its value in battle. But Athena, goddess of wisdom, trumped him by producing an olive tree. Though it looked unimpressive, Athena pointed out that it would provide both food and wood for tools and houses, thus promoting peace. Celebrating this, the Athenians twisted olive branches into crowns for winning athletes - a tradition remembered in the olive wreath logo of the Athens Olympics of 2004.
