History
:
Zeus swallowed his consort Metis, "wisdom," after he had made her pregnant, because he feared that she would bear a son who would overthrow him. And so Athena, was born from the holy head of Zeus. Hephaestus, with his ax, may have facilitated the birth. The occasion was awesome as Athena sprang forth fully grown, a beautiful young woman in full armor, fearlessly announcing her arrival with a thunderous war-cry. Athena and Poseidon vied for control of Athens and its surrounding territory, Attica. The contest took place on the Acropolis. Poseidon struck the rock with his trident and produced a salt spring or a horse. Athena brought forth an olive tree from the ground by the touch of her spear and she was proclaimed the victor. The olive was fundamental to Athenian economy and life.
Personality
:
Athena - extroverted and independent temperament--represents the goddess of wisdom and civilization--concerned with career, motivated by the desire for achievement, acquiring knowledge, she possesses a keen intellect, concerned with education, culture, social issues and politics. Athena is father’s daughter. She enters the male arena in the outer world. Athena is also known as one of the three Amazon women. (The myth of the Amazon women spoke of a society of fierce warrior women who lived entirely without men.) She is an androgynous ‘virgin’ goddess who develops a relationship with her own inner masculine part rather than partaking in marriage to an outer male. Her awareness is focused. She relates to men as intellectual companion with whom she shares ambitions, career goals, and ideals. If a primarily Athenian-type woman chooses partnership, she seeks one who possesses sufficient self-confidence and who will appreciate her ambition and autonomy.
Appearance
:
Athena has grey eyes, that are shining most of the time. She is usually found wearing armor, and a helmet. She will also wear normal clothing if trying to 'blend in'. Athena is most often accompanied by an owl. She has curly, dirty blonde hair, and traditionally has a wreath in it. Her shield or aegis has a carving of Medusa on it, and she usually has a spear. Athena looks forceful, but peaceful a the same time.
