When Athena and Poseidon competed against each other to become the patron god/goddess of the city, each were required to offer one gift to the Greeks. Poseidon offered the people a salt water spring, while Athena offered an olive tree. The Greeks chose Athena's gift over that of Poseidon because they thought the olive tree would be more beneficial to their well-being than a salt water spring (olives can be used in your food, oil, medicine, body etc.). Hence, the city was named "Athens", and Athena became important to the Athenians.
