https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charites
The cult of the Charites is very old, with their name appearing to be of Pelasgian, or pre-Greek, origin rather than being brought to Greece by Proto-Indo-Europeans.[29] The purpose of their cult appears to be similar to that of nymphs, primary based around fertility and nature with a particular connection to springs and rivers.[29] One of the earliest centres of worship for the Charites was the Cycladic Islandsincluding Paros, with epigraphical evidence for a cult to the Charites dating to the sixth century B.C.E. on the island of Thera.[1][29] Scholars have interpreted them as chthonic deities connected to fertility due to the absence of wreaths and flutes in ceremonies. An aetiological explanation for the lack of music and garlands was from a myth involving Minos. He was said to have been sacrificing to the Charites on the island of Paros when he learned of his son's death in Athens and stopped the music and ripped off his garlands in grief. Dance, however, appears to be strongly connected with their cult, which is similar to the cults of Dionysusand Artemis.
Mythology full of cults and false idols

Atalanta (/ˌætəˈlæntə/; Greek: Ἀταλάντη, translit. Atalántē, lit. "equal in weight") is a heroine in Greek mythology.
The Italian football club Atalanta, based in Bergamo, took its name from the heroine, and the club's crest depicts her face.[23]
The English football club Huddersfield Atalanta Ladies F.C. also named after the heroine.
Name of this false idol very reminiscent of the city of Atlanta in Georgia which is a city just adjacent East of Atlanta called Athens …
How convenient???

Early conceptions of future smart cities were found in utopian works such as New Atlantis.
IBM launched its “Smarter Cities” marketing initiative in 2008, called Smarter Planet, which included the IBM Smarter Cities Challenge. In 2010, Cisco Systems, with $25 million from the Clinton Foundation, established its Connected Urban Development program in partnership with San Francisco, Amsterdam, and Seoul.
Other smart city competitions were launched in the 2010s by Bloomberg Philanthropies, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the United States Department of Transportation (the latter won by Columbus, Ohio). In 2016, AT&T launched an alliance with Cisco, Deloitte, Ericsson, General Electric, IBM, Intel, and Qualcomm, with municipal partners Atlanta, Georgia; Chicago, Illinois; and Dallas, Texas.
