Historical Curiosities 

The turtle is a sacred animal in the ancient Greek world linked to the legend of the nymph Chelone, who had mocked Zeus on her wedding day, for this she was punished and thrown into the sea, forced to carry her house on her back, just like a turtle.

The turtle is an emblem of longevity, tenacity, strength, wisdom and patience. They are therefore considered a lucky charm, a symbol of protection and stability.

The term "tortoise" in Greek is "χελώνη", i.e. chelone. This animal was often associated with Hermes, the god of messengers, who according to legend transformed a turtle into a lyre, the musical instrument symbolizing harmony. 

For this reason, finding a turtle has always been considered a sign of good luck and prosperity.
