When
Athens was founded two gods, Athena and Poseidon, arrived on the Acropolis and
competed to be patrons of the city.
Poseidon
struck a rock and produced a saltwater spring, but Athena brought forth an olive
tree.
The
men of the city voted for Poseidon, but the women, recognizing the life living
power of the tree, voted for Athena. Luckily
there were more women than men in Athens at the time and so Athena was declared
the victor.
