Poseidon struck the ground with his trident and a spring sprang up; the water was salty and not very useful.
Poseidon and Athena (the goddess of war) were competing with one another for the ownership/control of Athens. Both of these powerful gods strived to win control of this land. To win over the Athenians, Poseidon threw his spear at the ground and produced the spring at the Acropolis. Poseidon was sure that providing the Athenians with this spring would win them over. Poseidon's donation to the Athenians was good, but Athena's was better. She won over the Athenians and reigned victorious after her ingenious contribution of the olive tree. Poseidon was so angry at his loss that he flooded the Attic Plain. Eventually, the two gods came over their differences and worked together to combine their powers for the greater good. For example, Athena built the first ship which was used to sail upon the sea belonging to Poseidon.
Athena gave the Athenians an Olive tree. Poseidon gave them a salt water spring. olives were more valuable and so the Athenians chose Athena as their patron god. To the person above, Poseidon did not give them a saltwater spring, he gave them the first horse Actually, to the person above Poseidon gave the people a fountain not a horse... The person above you is right.
Athena competed with Poseidon to be the patron deity of Athens. They agreed that each would give the Athenians one gift and the Athenians would choose whichever gift they preferred. Poseidon struck the ground with his trident and a spring sprang up, but the water was salty and not very useful, whereas Athena offered them the first domesticated olive tree. In an alternative version, Poseidon invented the first horse.
there was a dispute between poseidon and Athena over the status of presiding over Attics the one who made the most useful gift for the athenians would preside over Attica. Poseidon made a salt water spring and Athena made an olive tree. Thus Athena won the contest this was why Athena was enemies with Poseidon
I believe Athena was important to the Athenians because she was the founder of Athens, her city in Greece (Now the capital). She was competing with Poseidon, the Greek God of The Sea and Earthquakes, on who should rule the city. So, they were each presented a gift for the city. Poseidon's Gift was a water spring, and Athena's gift was the Olive Tree. The people agreed that Athena's Olive Tree was better and helped the town more, so they names it after her. They worship her. That is also what created the rivalry between Athena and Poseidon.

The Athenians named they're city after Athena because Athena and Poseidon had a competition and the winner would have the city named after them. Both Gods gave the city a present Poseidon gave a river running through the city and Athena gave an Olive tree and the Athenians thought Athenas presnt was better and that's why they named the city after her

the pink starfish
In the Temple of Hades, you offer pomegranates from the Garden of the Sphinx. In the Temple of Poseidon, you offer the starfish from Poseidon's statue in the museum.
Held an eternal grudge and made a point to always be on the opposing side to Athena and/or the Athenians, like with Odysseus and the Trojian war.
