Hades chose not to reside on Olympus, preferring the shadowy underworld instead. Vesta gave up her seat for Dionysus. Zeus and Hera each had attendants whom it could be presumed also resided on Olympus.
Why did the people choose Athena and not any other god or goddess?
They probably chose her because Athena was a VERY powerful goddess, watching and punishing people with greed, vanity and jealousy. She was the goddess of wisdom, she knew right from wrong and her war techques were brilliant. Since she was Zeus's favorite daughter, no one but Zeus could stop her and he punishes her lightly. Because of this she is also to be haughty. The goddess Athena had huge power so that's probably why people chose her.

Why is goddess Athena so important to the people of Athens?
Athens became the official Greek capital in 1834 after the Greeks freed themselves from Turkish rule. But the greatest fame of this city dates from the 400's BC, when it was the world's most powerful and most highly civilized city. The city's name in Greek is Athinai.
The city was named such for Athena the greek goddess of warfare and wisdom in Greek mythology. At birth, according to myth, she sprang, full-grown and dressed in armor, from the forehead of Zeus, the king of the gods.
Some myths tell how Athens got its name. The Greeks in the territory of Attica wanted to name their principal city for either Poseidon, the sea god, or Athena, whoever gave the more useful gift. One myth says that Poseidon created the horse. Another says he created the spring. Athena created the olive tree. The gods judged Athena's gift more useful, and so the city was named Athens, with Athena it's patroness.
Athena represented the intellectual aspect of war. The Greeks worshipped her as the patroness of arts and crafts. Athena was also particularly skilled at weaving. She is usually represented wearing a helmet and a magic shield called the aegis. Athena's chief symbol was the owl.
Why is Athena so important to the people of Athena?
She is so important because she watchs over them. But if you are talking about the greek city, ATHENS, then it is obvious since ATHENS was named after ATHENA. In greek mythology, the wisdom goddess Athena and the sea god Poseidon had a rivalry rooting from who the town (now known as athens) would be named Patron of the new city. Athena and Poseidon agreed to have the people decide by giving the newly born city one gift from each of them. Poseidon gave a salt water spring and Athena gave them an olive tree. Athenas gift was deemed much more useful therefore she won.
She was born out of Zeus's thoughts. She represents the city of Athens.
Is an acropolis similar to a temple?
An acropolis is a high-up fortress in Athens, where citizens could take refuge in times of danger.
Athena only had one adopted son, Erichthonius (also written Erichthonios).
No Athena didn't love Apollo. It never says anything about it and besides, Athena is a Madien goddess.(she's never had a lover) Hope this helped :)
Why did Zeus love Athena more?
I think that he loved Athena more than the others is because she had no wife to tie back to. He was the only reason she was born. It says that Hepatust went to get an axe, split Zeus's head open, and Athena popped out in full body armour.
Hope this helped!
