Drenched deep in the mythological past, some monuments at their ruins speak volumes about its glorious days of yore. Athens was also called Kekropia, after Kekrops, who succeeded Akteos. As goes the saying, his lower body was like a dragon. During his reign, goddess Athena and Poseidon were contending for the fortification of the city and each one offered gifts. Poseidon struck the rock at the Acropolis with his trident from which emerged a spring with salted water. Athena presented an olive tree. According to the legend, all men of Greece voted for Poseidon while all women voted for Athena. Since there was one more woman, Athena won and after her the city had been named.
