Grapes are the fruit of the vine and have been part of our diet since the Bronze Age. Vine cultivation reached Europe and Egypt from the Aryan tribe, while it was already cultivated by the Semites. Finally, according to Plutarch, cultivated grape varieties originate from the Indies.
There are many people who attribute the origin of grapes to deities. Typically, the Greeks to Dionysus, the Egyptians to Osiris, the Italians to Cronus, the Indians to Soma, the Romans to Bacchus, and the Libyans to Ammon.
In Greece, we find it in various regions and it is used as a fruit, for the production of wines, other drinks and jams, but also as a dried fruit, the raisin.
