Question: athens greece was named after which greek god
Answer: The root of the word is perhaps not of Greek or Indo - European origin , and is a possible remnant of the Pre-Greek substrate of Attica , as could be the name of the goddess Athena ( Attic Ἀθηνᾶ , Athēnā , Ionic Ἀθήνη , Athēnē , and Doric Ἀθάνα , Athānā ) , that was always related to the city of Athens .
