The history of its founding is also unique .The myth says that for many centuries BC, for the right to establish on this place the city fought food or not all the Olympic gods, but the main duel took place between the warlike and brave Athena and the powerful Poseidon .Wise Zeus, to resolve the dispute, said that the right to build a city here will be given to someone who will make his future residents the most valuable gift, and they were assigned to a semi-human half-cemetery Cecrop .Poseidon erupted from the depths of the earth source, but the water was in it salty, but Athena gave the city a branch of olives .
Visit the Sanctuary of Poseidon at Cape Sounion is not only because of the beautiful landscapes, but also to find on the walls of the temple an autograph of Lord Byron himself.
Cecrop decided that salty sea is everywhere, and, unlikely, can benefit the city, but such a valuable tree that will help people work and flourish is truly unique. So the city's patron was recognized as Athena, and her gift was long kept in one of the main temples of the Acropolis - the Erechtheion, it was built exactly on the place where the gods competed. Cecrop became the first king of this city-state. And, probably, for the fact that Poseidon's gift was rejected, there is still a shortage of drinking water in the city.
