Poseidon and Athena, two powerful Olympian gods, are known for their fierce rivalry and deepseated animosity towards each other. This enmity traces back to a legendary contest for the city of Athens, where both gods sought to become its patron deity. Poseidon struck the ground with his trident, creating a saltwater spring, while Athena offered the olive tree, symbolizing peace and prosperity. The citizens chose Athena's gift, igniting Poseidon's wrath. This divine conflict encapsulates themes of jealousy, vengeance, and the struggle for supremacy.
