The city state of Sparta did indeed believe in the goddess Athena. The Spartans built for Athena the temple Chalkioikos.
Athens - named for Athena.
No, it was named after Ouranos, god of the sky.
They are both city-states.the had the same language and religion. they both had slavery and the concept of citizenship.
Athena was the goddess of wisdom and battle. Athens was named after Athena when she beat poseidon (god of the sea) at a challenge for the city.
Athens.
Sparta didnt have a patron god, a god protector of the city (like Athens had Athena). They worship all 12 gods but they felt closer to Zeus as they consider them descendants of Hercules, son of Zeus.
I believe it is Athena
there is a city in Greece called Athens. it was named after the greek goddess of knowledge and war strategies, Athena, for her gift of the olive tree. Iraklio is named after Hercules, he wasn't a god but he was a hero. Appolonia, is named after Apollo the god of music, sun and youth. there's also Cythera Delius Lamia Thebes and Pheobes I'm not sure what they're named after though.hope this helped! good luck with what ever you needed this for!(:

minerva because athena is greek
It simply fit. No real god named her daughter athena. It is a greek myth. Athena was the gaurdian of athens, yet a female. It only fit
it was like a temple to a Greek god named Athena and back then she was a big god
