It was divided into two quarters, Sippar of the Sun-god (see SHAMASH) and Sippar of the goddess Anunit, the former of which was discovered by Hormuzd Rassam in 1881 at Abu-Habba, 16 m.

 AKKAD - LoveToKnow Article on AKKAD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
It is quite probable that the non-Semitic name Agade may mean "crown (ago) of fire (de)"* in allusion to Istar, "the brilliant goddess," the tutelar deity of the morning and evening star and the goddess of war and love, whose cult was observed in very early times in Agade.
This fact is again attested by Nabonidus, whose record5 mentions that the Istar worship of Agade was later superseded by that of the goddess Anunit, another personification of the Istar idea, whose shrine was at Sippar.
In fact, it has been thought that Agade-Akkad was situated opposite Sippar on the left bank of the Euphrates, and was probably the oldest part of the city of Sippar.

Where the name originated is likewise uncertai~i, but the indications point to Erech where we find the worship of a great mother-goddess independent of any association with a male counterpart flourishing in the oldest period of Babylonian history.
She appears under various names, among which are Nan, Innanna, Nina and Anunit.
As early as the days of Khammurabi we find these various names which represented originally different goddesses, though all manifest as the chief trait the life-giving power united in Ishtar.

On page 101 it says, "Not only is it one of Ishtar's names as the planet Venus, but a fixed star in the region of Ares (lu-zid-mal) was identified with Anunit." Algol, apparently, was also identified with Anunit.
Again, no mention of Athene in any form in this discussion.
