The city-state did have its allies and its enemies though. It was allies with places such as Athens and Delphi that they traded with, so that the Athenians could trust their goods. One rival was Sparta, who was always searching for land to
conquer. The allies helped defend the city-state, and Eliacmeans provided them with enough material to do so. Eliacmeans was allies with Athens because of their incapapility to grow precious olives. Its rival is Sparta because their violent nature and how it enrages the citizens deep within the city lies the central market, where merchents and farmers alike gather to trade locally crops and other locally-produced necessities. Eliacmeans is the greek word for "olive" so the state was named after this because olives and olive oil were a very precious material in ancient greek times. Olives were both picked by hand and knocked out of trees with wooden sticks. Some were pressed into olive oil, while some were eaten. This was an important product to the Eliacmeans because they could trade and eat them. It is also believed that cutting down an olive tree was a crime. The grain was usually harvest around October. In spring, the crops were harvested using curved knives.
