Tortoise play a significant role in Greek mythology, often symbolising wisdom, endurance, and longevity. The Greek god Hermes, messenger of the gods, was said to have worn a helmet adorned with the image of a turtle. This was meant to represent his wisdom and ability to move swiftly and gracefully through the world. In addition to Hermes, the goddess Aphrodite was also associated with turtles. According to myth, Aphrodite was born from the sea foam and was carried to shore on the back of a turtle. This story highlights the turtle's connection to the sea, as well as its ability to carry heavy loads with ease.
