One day in Greece a new city was underway. The city was big and beautiful. The only thing left to do was to find a patron god for the new city. Both Poseidon and Athena wanted to take this position. The people of the city held a contest to choose their patron god. Whoever gave the greatest gift would win.
Poseidon stabbed his trident in the ground and gave a saltwater spring, and Athena gave the first olive tree. The people saw Athena's gift to be more useful so they chose her as their patron. They named the city Athens in her honor. They built an Acropolis or the Parthenon for her too.
