For some very strange reason it was hopeless that she would fall in love; Hephaestus tried once, yet failed.
One example of that is in The Odyssey, where Athena assists Odysseus' son Telemachus in finding his father; another is where she gives Perseus the shield he will need to fight Medusa.
Athena's mother was Metis. Metis warned Zeus that if she bore him a boy child, the child would be greater than him. Zeus swallowed her and started having a terrible headache. Then his head split open by an axe from help from Hephestus.
Suddenly, Athena came out of his head. Athena came out fully grown, with her symbols the aegis and the famous helmet of Athena. Athena is much like her brother Ares: They are both rulers of war, but she is more of the strategy and quick thinking. Her brother Ares is the power, strength, and villain of mythology. Athena is also known of being and having Wisdom, Wealth and Crafts. Goddess Athena, daughter of Zeus, was the Greek goddess of crafts, wisdom, and warfare. Inscriptions about the goddess were found in Linear B tablets , and Athena was originally an Aegean goddess who served as a protector for the king.
From the founding of Athens to the Trojan War, Athena played an important role in many Greeks myths and stories. Here, we will learn 7 key facts and stories about the goddess.
Unlike the rest of the Olympic gods, goddess Athena did not have two parents. Athena was most often represented in this form, a grown woman in full battle armor. Within mythology and literature, Athena is often referred to by her singular parentage.
In many versions of the story, Zeus impregnated Metis, his first wife. Their son was destined to overthrow Zeus just as he had his father and his father had before him. Afraid of his own demise, Zeus swallowed Metis in the form of a fly, hoping to prevent a son from usurping him. Zeus was then afflicted by a pounding headache, and when Hephaestus split open his skull to relieve the pain, out came Athena. In some versions of the story, where the motherless nature of Athena is more clear, Metis is not involved at all.
Orestes was on trial in Athens for the death of his mother, Clytemnestra. He claimed the killing was justified because Clytemnestra murdered Agamemnon, his father. If this was not the case, how could it be that Athena was born without a mother? Goddess Athena was often referred to as Pallas Athena or simply Pallas.
There are two prevailing myths as to why Athena took the name Pallas. According to Apollodorus, Pallas was a giant that Athena skinned in battle, later wearing his skin into battle to protect herself Bibliotheca I. She then took on the name of the giant to commemorate her success in battle. However, another myth states that Pallas was her childhood friend, whom she accidentally killed while playing.
Filled with grief, Athena took on the name in memory of her friend, placing it before her own Robert Graves, The Greek Myths. Parthenos , which translates to virgin or maiden, was an epithet given to goddess Athena to acknowledge her status as a virgin deity.
In Athens, the Parthenon , the largest temple in the Acropolis, was dedicated to Athena. The temple held Athena Parthenos , a 37 feet tall statue of the goddess. The original statue was sculpted by Phidias and has since been lost or destroyed.
