Athens. Poseidon struck the ground with his weapon, a trident, and a saltwater spring emerged. Athena, on the other hand, created an olive tree. The people of Athens were more impressed with Athena’s gift. But Poseidon didn’t like the outcome and sought revenge by sending a sea monster to attack the city. The people of Athens were afraid and asked Athena for help. So, she offered the people her shield and instructed them to use it to reflect the sun’s rays into the sea monster’s eyes. Blinded by the sun’s glare, the monster retreated, and Athens was saved. Did you enjoy the story? I hope that hearing this story boosts your curiosity about the culture of Athens.
