Detailed answer to the quiz question
The olive branch has been a symbol of peace and reconciliation since ancient times. This meaning goes back to Greek mythology, in which it was sacred to the goddess Athena. The olive branch also plays an important role in the Bible: after the Flood, a dove brought Noah an olive branch as a sign that the waters had receded and peace reigned on earth.
