The Greeks called him Erichthonius. Son of Gaia and Hephaistos he became the first king of Athens. His nation was not only a hometown, but also his mother. Athens could not stay with a boy who was not generated from her. They say she hide the little baby for while and then put him inside of a box and left him with the daughters of Kekropes, the first king of Athens. Athens told them to not open the box but they were pretty stupi and they did it. They said that the girls became so surprised with what they saw that they jump from the top of the Akropolis straight to death. All of them. However, when Erichtonius grew up and then became king, Athens became really connected to our city. Athens was kind of like ambicious. She was so Greek and so ambicious that she started a war with Poseidon to get the region of Attica only just for her. She was kind of selfish, you know. Poseidon laughed from her and ripped the mother earth in two pieces with his trident, and a beautiful horse came out from it. But Athens used to be pretty much better than Poseidon. She knocked on the floor with her golden sharp spear, and then a little beautiful plant with silver flowers came out from it, and then little black fruits sprout from them. It was the birth of the olive plant, you know.
