Deity Background
Athena's deity background goes that Athena and Poseidon wanted to become the patron deity of the now Athens. Zeus wanting to avoid an argument decided to have a contest to see who become the patron of the Athens. They were to propose a gift and which ever one the Athens preferred one. Poseidon made a freshwater spring appear. Athena made an olive tree appear and since olive trees had more uses the Athens choose her.
