Athens was named after Athena, the patron goddess of the city. She and Poseidon fought over who would be patron, and in the end, they had a competition. They both had to create a gift to give to the Athenians, and whoever had the better gift won. Poseidon made a salt water spring (being the god of the seas) and Athena created the olive tree. Needless to say, she won.
