"For there is a certain story of the more reverend ones: as many things as we might plan that are not worth the hearing or foolish, all things turn out for us for the best." For Poseidon and Athena were contesting about Attica, and Athena won. But Poseidon, bested and hurt, cursed the city and he said that it should happen that the Athenians would always plan poorly. Hearing this, Athena added to the curse that they would plan poorly and be lucky.[2]
