ccording to ancient Greek history, Poseidon, god of the sea and Athena, goddess of peace and wisdom, disputed over whose name would be given to the newly built city, in the land of Attica. Poseidon struck his trident on a rock and salt water began to flow. Athena stuck her spear on the ground and it turned into an olive tree. It was decided that the olive tree was more valuable to the people of Attica, hence the new city was named Athens in honor of Athena. OLYMPIA-XENIA was established in 1968.
