The term to extend an olive branch means to make an offer of peace or reconciliation. This term has Biblical origins, coming from the section of the Old Testament that deals with the flood; the sign that the flood is over is an olive branch brought back to the ark by a dove.
In ancient Greek mythology, the goddess Athena was associated with the olive tree as she was the one credited with giving it to the Greeks. In the Koran, olives, among other fruits, were cited as one of Allah's obvious gifts. Still today, to extend an olive branch is to make an attempt to correct a conflict.
