Answer:

In Greek mythology, Athena and Poseidon competed against each other to determine who would be the patron deity of the city. At the end, Athena got to be the patron of the city which would be named after her.

Athena is really important alongside with Poseidon as they represent diferent aspects of life and social conventions of Ancient Greece. For instance, Athena represented justice, wisdom, culture and arts. This aspects are a central element of Greece splendor.

On the other hand, Poseidon was depicted as a tetchy god, who either protected the sailors as he could produce earthquakes and tidal waves if he was ignored or disregarded.

The duality of the gods determined that the cult of Athena was more common in Athens and other big cities as the cult of Poseidon was rather rural and regional.
