Athens

City of Athena, where wisdom and civilization found their greatest home.

Athens won its divine patron when Athena and Poseidon competed for the city's favor, Poseidon struck his trident and produced a saltwater spring, while Athena planted an olive tree, gift of sustenance and peace. The people chose Athena. Under her patronage, Athens became the center of Greek culture, philosophy, and democratic thought, a city whose myths and history intertwine deeply.
