No, Athena has a temple in Athens. Poseidon and Athena each gave a gift to see who would be the city of Athens' leader. Poseidon gave the worlds first horse. Athena gave an olive tree which they could prey upon and help them find their way on quests. The city thought Athena's gift was more useful. Athena then had a temple built just for her in Athens. Poseidon was no longer allowed to set foot on Athens property.
