About Athena
Athena, or Pallas Athena, is a Greek goddess of wisdom, strategic warfare, and inspiration. In Roman, she’s called Minerva. To her origin, there’s one well known story to be told.
One day, Zeus has a terrible headache and it turns out to be Athena coming out of it, wearing full armor. So many believe that Athena is born of Zeus wisdom itself since she has no mother.
The other story is more gruesome, it involves Zeus consuming a goddess who’s pregnant with his child for he fears the prophecy saying that the child will be more powerful than him. Alas, Athena made it out of her father’s head anyway.
