The capital city of Greece is Athens. It was named after the Greek goddess Athena. Poseidon and Athena were competing to be patrons for he city. The gods made gifts for the people and whoever made the best gift would be patron. Poseidon made Salt water spring and Athena made the Olive tree. The men of the city liked the salt water spring, seeing how it would be a necessary stronghold in a war. But the women admired the olive tree and recognised its many uses around the home. There city had one more woman than the number of men, so the city was named Athens, and Athena and Poseidon have hated each other ever since.
And that's why the city's called Athens.

The capital of the modern Republic of Greece is ATHENS.
Historically, when the Megali Idea (very similar to the US Manifest Destiny idea) was popular, the Greeks were pushing to conquer/liberate Istanbul from the Turks and re-establish this as their capital of Constantinople. Because of the War of Turkish Independence, the Greek advance towards Istanbul was halted and the Greeks have been forced to accept that Athens would be their capital for the foreseeable future.
It is also worth noting that during the Era of Ancient Greece, the city-states were not united in anything other than local alliances. As a result, Athens was only the capital of the Attica region. Corinth, Thebes, Delphi, Sparta, and numerous other city-states were wholly independent politically from Athens. The idea of a united Greece is a much more recent idea that comes out of a restoration of the Byzantine Empire.
