Ο διαγωνισμός ΑΤΗΕΝΑ έχει όραμα να αναδείξει τη συμβολική σημασία της συμμετοχής και την αξία της νίκης εδώ στην Ελλάδα, τη χώρα που δεν είναι μόνο η γενέτειρ

α της ελιάς αλλά και η πατρίδα της ευγενούς άμιλλας και του ολυμπιακού ιδεώδους. Εδώ, στη σκιά της Ακρόπολης, όπου η θεά Αθηνά φύτεψε την πρώτη ελιά και που χρόνια αργότερα ο επιδρομέας Ξέρξης την έκαψε αλλά αυτή βλάστησε ξανά μέσα σε μια νύχτα, δίνοντας θάρρος στους Αθηναίους να νικήσουν τους Πέρσες. Εδώ, σε μια αιώνια πόλη που γεφυρώνει τις εποχές, συνενώνοντας τους μύθους και τους θρύλους του χθες με τις προκλήσεις του σήμερα. Σ’ ένα τόπο όπου αισθάνεται κανείς τη ροή του χρόνου και της ιστορίας να κυλά αδιατάρακτη πάνω στα ασημοπράσινα φύλλα των αιωνόβιων ελιών. Εδώ, όπου κανείς δεν αποκαλεί το λάδι ελαιόλαδο, γιατί για εμάς τους Έλληνες μόνο αυτό είναι το πραγματικό λάδι! The ATHENA International Olive Oil Competition aims to highlight the significance of competing and winning here in Greece, this age-old homeland of the olive and the birthplace of noble competition and the Olympic ideal. Right here, in the lee of the Acropolis, where the goddess Athena made an olive tree grow and where years later the invading Persians burned it but a new shoot quickly sprouted from the old stock – an omen that the city was destined to rise again more glorious from its ashes. In a place where one feels the unbroken flow of time and history over the silver-green leaves of century-old olive trees. A land where the term ‘olive oil’ is commonly shortened to ‘oil’ because for us Greeks only olive oil is the real thing!
