| apple picking |
Greek mythology is full of references to apples. They were offered as a wedding gift to Hera when she married Zeus, a tradition that was customized later by Solon. The ancient Greeks believed that this fruit was protected by the nymphs of Milia, while Homer used the apple as a reason for the Trojan War to break out, writing that Paris had naively offered the Golden Apple of Discord to Aphrodite. Alexander the Great believed that apples contributed to longevity and the Pythagoreans also used it as an occult symbol.
