Argolis, which kept the kingdom of Mycenae at its peak, almost intact from the passage of time until today. And finally, the Mycenaeans who owe their name to the complaining moan of the cow Ios ("Mycenae" from the verb mykaomai = I roar like a cow).
So it seems that the cultivation of plum olives began in the 2nd millennium BC. When Agamemnon lived his quiet and luxurious life. At the famous meals of the palace he offered to his fiends, unbridled wine and olives!

He returned to his homeland, and not knowing what awaited him, asked for his favourite olives to accompany his meal.
