The legend surrounding this chess set is rooted in Greek mythology.
Athens was once the center of a conflict between two powerful gods, Poseidon, the god of the sea, and Athena, the goddess of wisdom. Each wanted the city named after them. To resolve the dispute, Zeus asked each god to make an offer to the citizens. Poseidon struck the Acropolis with his trident, causing saltwater to gush forth and promising storms at sea. Athena, on the other hand, planted an olive tree, symbolizing food, oil, wood, and light. The citizens chose Athena's offer, and the city was named after her.
