Be creative and have fun! The Attic Myth The myth of how Athens came to be. In Attic myth, the father of the Athenian race was the son of the Attic earth. During his reign the gods divided up the earth amongst themselves. Athena and Poseidon both laid claims on Athens. The Athenians were to decide who was going to be the patron deity of their city. They decided the one who offered the best gift would be the patron deity. Posiedon struck the Acropolis rock with his triton and produced a huge stream of gushing seawater. He promised the civilians great success with trade over seas. The Greeks were tired of all the warfare at sea and Poseidon’s gift reminded them of war too much. They anxiously awaited to see Athena’s gift. Athena then struck her staff on the Acropolis rock and an olive tree grew. The Greeks were impressed by her gift because it symbolized growth and prosperity. In turn Athena was the honored deity for Athens but without neglect the Geeks honored and respected Poseidon. The Erectheion is a temple that is devoted to both of these god figures.
