And if you choose which god you prefer as a guardian?
We will not choose, this will make problems.
At the beginning of ancient Greece, every community hoped to have a deity watching over them, but not every town had one. One of the gods that guarded towns, particularly coastal towns, was Poseidon, the god of the sea. In admiration of Poseidon, people erected temples and bestowed gifts upon him, which makes him pleased.
Greek Mythology
Jajajaja ok, good luck because you need it
We should each give a gift to the village, the people will decide which gift is the best.
Like other gods or goddesses, like Athena, Poseidon was constantly searching for new seaside settlements to settle. The goddess of knowledge is Athena.On a particular day, Poseidon and Athena established a brand-new coastal community.
Greek Mythology
I can' t believe we have water!
Me neither!
Poseidon and Athena both claimed the village as their own. When the villagers learned that their hamlet had two gods, they were taken aback. Poseidon came up with the notion of forcing people to select their favorite god, but they were unwilling to do so.
Greek Mythology
With joy I say, I will protect this village with my life!
As a result of the unwillingness of the people to make a decision, Athena proposed a challenge.Athena set a challenge for everyone in the town to bring a present, and the community would vote on the best one. The person who kept the community was the one who delivered the best gift.
MMMMM
With a laugh, Poseidon offered his gift. One of Poseidon's gifts was a mountain stream. An olive tree was donated by Athena for the gift competition.
Yeah, it is!
This is great!
Poseidon's gift thrilled the populace, but they still required fresh water because the sea was salty. On the other hand, Athena's olive tree was superior as it produced tasty olives and had numerous uses. Because Athena had the best gift, she was appointed guardian of this hamlet, which came to be known as Athens in her honor.
