The capital city of Greece is Athens. It was named after the Greek goddess Athena. Poseidon and Athena were competing to be patrons for he city. The gods made gifts for the people and whoever made the best gift would be 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 recognised its many uses around the home. There city had one more woman than the number of men, so the city was named Athens, and Athena and Poseidon have hated each other ever since.

And that's why the city's called Athens.
