Athenians had Athena as their patron god, due to her gift of the olive tree to Athens during a competition with Poseidon.
Athenians constructed the Parthenon in the Acropolis as her temple, and additionally as we now know, a place for storing very valuable items.
Athena's full name was Athena Parthenos. She was the goddess of wisdom & warfare.
