The Legend:
A glorious city was the bone of contention between two powerful gods. The God of the Sea, Poseidon, and the Goddess of Wisdom, Athena, each wanted the city to be named after themselves. The divine conflict was fierce, so Zeus declared that each god had to make an offer to the citizens.
Poseidon lifted his trident and struck the rock of the Acropolis, causing sea water to burst out. “It will warn you of upcoming storms. Your city will conquer the seas,” he said.
Athena knelt and touched the ground, causing an olive tree to grow. “For food, oil, wood, and light. Your city will become the symbol of civilization,” she proclaimed.
Despite Poseidon’s rage, Athena’s gift was preferred, and ever since, the city has been called Athens.

The Chessmen:
Greek sculptors loved to recreate this divine conflict through their art.

• King: A replica of the famous statue “Poseidon of Melos” (2nd century B.C.).
• Queen: Represents the glorious “Athena Promachos” (450 B.C., Acropolis Museum).
• Bishop: Inspired by a bronze Hellenistic statue.
• Knight: A figure drawn from the marble facade of the Parthenon, sculpted by Pheidias.
• Castle (Rook): A reproduction of one of the most admirable Attic stele devoted to Aristion, a young soldier who died in battle.
• Pawn: A bronze statue of a fully armed warrior from 500 B.C.
