The Erechtheion or Erechtheum was erected between 421 and 406 BC at the most sacred place of the Acropolis.
This is where the gods Poseidon and Athena battled for the right to be patron deity of the city. Each would give the city a gift, and then the people could decide which gift they preferred. Poseidon planted his trident in the rock, creating a salt spring. Athena planted an Olive tree. Since the water from the spring was salty, the Athenians chose the Olive tree, which they could harvest and as a result Athena became the patron deity of Athens.
