u'\u3164\u3164\u3164Poseidon is famous for his contests with other deities for winning the patronage of the city. According to legend, Athena became the patron goddess of the city of Athens after a competition with Poseidon, though he remained on the Acropolis in the form of his surrogate, Erechtheus. After the fight, Poseidon sent a monstrous flood to the Attic plain to punish the Athenians for not choosing him.[9] In similar competetions with other deities in different cities when he loses he causes devastating floods. Poseidon is a horrifying and avenging god and must be honoured even he is not the patron deity of the city.\u3164'
