Document Summary
Gets along well with others and space on the acropolis is shared with other deities. Different from others = not panhellenic sanctuary like the others (across all of greek) Not for incubating greek identity (for and by athenians only) Rises above the rest of athens elevated. Received attention beginning in the bronze age and was a mycenaean citadel. The wall remained the one wall around the acropolis until 480 bc. There is evident of a palace on the most sacred spot on the acropolis. Since the mycenaean architecture was still visible people would look back to the old world. Gods competed over who would be the patron deity of athens. Athena and poseidon gave gifts and whoever gave the greater gift would get. *athenian judges preferred the olive tree and named the city after. Athena had an advantage going second since she took advantage of the spring that p had given. By the olive tree that athens becomes rich.
