The impressive olive tree (ελιά) of Vouves is located in Ano Vouves, a village near Chania, Crete. Its age is estimated over 3,000 years old and is the oldest one in Greece and probably one of the oldest trees in the world.

The goddess Irene was one of the Horae, goddesses who represented the three different seasons the Greeks recognized. Irene stood for the springtime, a season when the Greek city-states often threatened war. Despite this, she was the goddess of plenty and peace. Artists typically rendered Irene as carrying a cornucopia to signify plenty and an olive branch to signify peace. The association between olive branches and peace continues to the present, as the term "extend the olive branch" refers conflict resolution and the resumption of peaceful relations.
