In Athens, the AΘE stands for ATHEÖN which means the people of Athens in Greek.
The People of Athens honored by her name thought that Athena protected them a long time ago.
Athena is the Goddess that supposedly protects Athens. Athena and Poseidon fought over controll of the city. Each God had to give a present to the people whichever was the best would protect and 'rule' over Athens. Poseidon made a geyser of salt water. And Athena gave them an olive tree. Since the people could do nothing with salt water they chose Athena. Which in Greek mythology guards Athens.
If the question was "Who were the Athenians?" The answer is the people who lived in the Greek city of Athens. If the question was "Who was Athena", the answer is: Athena was a goddess. She was the goddess of war, wisdom, weaving, crafts, and knowledge.
Poseidon's enemies were his father,Cronus,his brother Zeus because Zeus was the king of all gods and not Poseidon,and Athena because Zeus promised Poseidon the city of Athens. But when Athena was born he told Athena she could be the patron of Athens. So they had a contest. They would each give the people of Athens a gift. Who's ever gift they liked better would get the city of Athens. Poseidon gave the people of Athens a salt water spring.Athena gave them an olive tree.The people liked the olives better so Athena won the contest and got the city of Athens.
