....Then, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, appeared and asked that the city be given to her and named after her.

How beautiful is my new town! Which name will be the best for this town?

If you offer me the city and give it my name, it will become the city of knowledge and beauty.

Then she smote the rock with her spear, and an olive tree grew up, laden with fruit

This olive tree is my gift for you!

Cecrops did not know what gift to choose and so the gods and the townspeople who wanted to help him decided that the Olive tree was the best gift and so the city took the name of the goddess Athena and was called Athens.
