What goddess is Greece's modern capital city named after?
The capital of Athens was named after the Greek goddess Athena.
The mythological story is that Poseidon and Athena were competing to be patrons for the city. The gods made gifts for the people and the contest was such that whoever made the best gift would become the city's patron. Poseidon made salt water spring and Athena made the olive tree. The men of the city liked the salt water spring, seeing how it would be a necessary stronghold in a war. But the women admired the olive tree and recognized its many uses around the home.
