Hi,
this time you will get to know the next one goddess - Athena, one of
my favorite.
After
the incarceration of Metis, Gaya underrated prophecy by which a next
Zeus's son is going to overthrow him, so Zeus ate Metyd. One day,
Zeus has got a headache, so he called Hephasteus. He ripped his head
off with a hammer and then Athena jumped off in full armor. That's
how she born.
Athena
is a goddess of legitimate war, wisdom, strategy, and art. She was
the patron of spinners and embroiders. There was only one seamstress
better than her - Arachne. That's why Athena changed her into half
spider-half human.
Athena
was wearing bright armor, sometimes she was using Zeus's thunder. She
had a gold spear and shield with Medus's face - Aegis.
Her
holy symbols are spear and shield, the great animal is an owl and
great plant - olive.
Her
Roman counterpart is Minerwa.
