Step-by-step explanation:

Athena and Poseidon vied for control of Athens and its surrounding territory, Attica Poseidon struck the rock with his trident and produced a salt spring or a horse. Athena brought forth an olive tree from the ground by the touch of her spear and she was proclaimed the Victor.
