Athena and Poseidon claimed the same city. So they went the rock of the Acropolis before the Athenians decided that whoever offered the residents the most beautiful gift, the city would be named after.
Poseidon struck on one side of the hill with his trident and immediately gushed forth a spring of water. The people marveled, but the water was salty as sea water, which was the kingdom of Poseidon, so it was not very useful.
Athena's gift was an olive tree, which was better, since it provided the city food, oil and timber. So he won the duel Athena and named the city of Athens.
