SINIS
Sinis was ruffian who beset
travelers on the road between
Troezen and Athens. Sinis
asked passing strangers to help
him bend two pine trees to the
ground. Once he had bent the
trees, he tied his helper's
wrists - one to each tree. When
the strain became too much,
the trees snapped upright and
scattered portions of anatomy
in all directions. The hero
Theseus turned the tables on
Sinis by tying his wrists to a
couple of bent pines, then
letting nature and fatigue take
their course.

PITIS

Pitis was a nymph, Pan and Boreas were in love with her, but Pitis
prefered Pan , and while Boreas heard the decision of Pitis
,blown and crashed Pitis to one rock, and she died, more or less.

the metamorphosis produced while Pitis escaped from Pan.

garlands in her memory .

USES OF THE PINE


RESINE

Pine resin has multiple uses for survival. This


sap is produced by the pine tree to seal up
cuts or damages to the tree. If you ever find
yourself lost in a wilderness environment,
having a pine tree in the area is one of the
best case scenarios you can hope for. There
are many different species of pine trees but
they generally prefer open and sunny areas.
They are found abundantly throughout North
America, they are also found throughout
Central America, Europe, North Africa, in the
Caribbean region, and in some places in Asia.

Native Americans
used
pine sap for
medicinal purposes. The
resin is either chewed
on or made into a
beverage by mixing with
water. It is known to
be very effective in
treating stomach ulcers
and rheumatoid
arthritis. Modern
medical experts have
not verified the
medicinal benefits of
pine resin though.

FOOD OF PINE
Some species have
large seeds,
called Pine nuts, that
are harvested and
sold for cooking and
baking. They are an
essential ingredient
of Pesto alla
genovese.

BIOMEDICAL
A tea made by
steeping young, green
pine needles in boiling
water is high in
vitamins A and C.
