Mostly, Athena and Poseidon don't have the greatest relationship. They competed against each other to be the patron god/goddess of Athens. Athena offered the olive tree, and Poseidon offered a water spring. Also, Athena found Poseidon with his girlfriend in her temple, which is pretty disrespectful!
