Nashville has been called "The Athens of the South" for over 200 years. So, I'd say any Ancient Greek reference is a 100% fit. It was called the Athens of the South due to its educational facilities being the best in the south. Therefore it could have easily been referred to as the Oxford, Cambridge or Heidelberg of the south too. I think the overwhelming majority of people associate Nashville and Tennessee with Country Music, Blue Grass, Volunteers and good quality whiskey long before they make the connection between Tennessee-Nashville-Higher Learning-Athens-Ancient Greece-Titans. Just my opinion though. The people of Nashville have embraced the Ancient Greek connection, up to and including the construction of a full size replica of the Parthenon. It even has a full size replica of Athena Parthenos inside of it. So, yeah, it's just you.
