Modern Religious Experience: The Morality of Greek Myths- Reflection #6: "The Creation of Seasons: Demeter and PersephoneFor this reflection, upload a picture that represents your character in the Greek myth you pr...In this story it was about the naming of the city Athens. Zues had first found this city asked who would like to claiom this city and name it their own, Posiden stood up and told Zues to let him have this city because of its natural ports and harbour. Athena stepped up and said this would be a place of wisdom, art, and learning. Zues could not choose between the two so brought it apoun the counsil to help him make a decision. They had came up with a competition to bring forth a gift to represnt this ctiy and whichever the counsil had chosen to be the best gift would name this city after them. posiden summoned a battle horse out of the ground saying this would drive all their enemeies away and what could be a better gift. Athena touched the ground and out grew a olive tree saying this tree symoblizes peace and wisdom. The counsil thought Athenas gift was by far better and so Athena had named the city after her. The moral of this story is that it is always better to be wiser and keep peace then to think of war and battle. This story answers the how the cities were named.
