Question

Description Acceptable. A highly detailed statue of the river god Ilissos appears in a depiction of this event in the West Pediment, which also contains fragments of snakes that could signify the daughter Pandrosos. Academus' sanctuary housed gifts from this event that were later the source for prize amphorae awarded every four years. The Thraisian Plains flooded as a result of this event, during which the first moria sprung up. In one retelling, Zeus enforced patrilineal descent due to the presence of more women than men at (-5[1])this event. In some accounts, King Cecrops (SEE-krahps) witnesses the first horses be (10[1])created near the (10[1])Erechtheion (er-EK-thee-ahn) at (10[2])this (10[1])event. Citizens deemed a god's saltwater spring the (10[1])less useful creation during (10[1])this (10[1])event. For 10 points, olive trees were created at what event, which resulted in a goddess of wisdom becoming the patron of a Greek (10[1])city? ■END■

ANSWER: competition for the naming of Athens [or any description for a fight to be the patron of Athens; or any description of Athena vs. Poseidon; or any description of the outcome like Athena defeating Poseidon] (The first line is about the West Pediment of the Parthenon. The amphorae in the second line were awarded during the Panathenaic Games.)
