Athena
Goddess of Wisdom

Zeus giving birth to Athena, by Rudolph Tegner Birth

Athena was the daughter of Zeus and Metis. But there was a problem, Zeus checked up on Metis and found out that if he had a son by her this son would be mightier than him (you know, the same way he was greater than his daddy and his daddy was greater than his grandpa). So he tricked Metis and ended up swallowing her when she turned into a fly and figured she was no longer a threat. However, Metis was pregnant with Athena and when Athena was born, this turned into quite a problem. Soon Zeus was plagued with killer headaches and he ran to Hephaestus (Smith God) and begged him to open his head. Hephaestus did as he was told, and out popped Athena, full grown and ready for battle!

Other versions peg her father as Pallas (who later attempted to ravage her and she killed him without hesitation and took his name and skin). Some say her daddy was Itonus, a King of Iton. Some say her biological father was Poseidon, but that she begged to be adopted by Zeus. No matter what the story is, she never has a real mother.

Athena's birth "is a desperate theological expedient to rid her of matriarchal conditions" says J. E. Harrison. She was the Goddess of Wisdom, and the daughter of the Titaness who basically personified it. By having her born only from Zeus, it gave males authority and power over something that had previously only been a female realm. Zeus swallowed Metis, and so was able to assimilate her crafty wisdom. Athena did not have any loyalty to a mother figure, which probably played a major role in her self-description as misogynist.
Realm
Athena, by Sandra M. Stanton

Athena was, as I said earlier, the Goddess of more things than I can shake a stick at. But they can be pretty easily summarized into three things. She was the Goddess of Wisdom, Goddess of Military Victory (war with good tactics and winning strategies, not just fighting, like Ares), and Goddess of Crafts. I need to elaborate a little more on that last one, just so you can understand her coolness. Athena invented the flute, the trumpet, the earthenware pot, the plough, the rake, the ox-yoke, the horse-bridle, the chariot, and the ship. Now that's just the "guy" stuff. She was also the first teacher of the science of numbers, and all women's arts: weaving, cooking, and spinning. If you are looking through paintings and you think you might have found something that is Athena, here is some of her iconography: the aegis (shield/fringed cloak, sometimes with the head of Medusa on it), a shield (again, sometimes with the head of Medusa), bronze armor, a helmet (this is very common), and a spear (also very common). Athena was also one of the three Virgin Goddesses on Olympus, something you might want to read more about.
The Naming of Athens

I am telling this story here (briefly) because it is important to Athena (I think), but there is a much better version of this, for your reading pleasure, in the Myth Pages. So! Wayyyyyy back in the day the city of Athens belonged to Poseidon. He had claimed it by coming in, striking a rock with his trident and establishing a spring. But the spring only gushed salt water, and so it wasn't very useful, even if it was kind of pretty. Many years later, during the reign of Cecrops (a half-snake dude who was the king there), Athena came in and planted an olive tree, thus claiming the land for herself. Poseidon was totally pissed off, and challenged Athena to mortal combat (he would have got his ass kicked) and Athena was about to accept except that Zeus stepped in and stopped them (he probably didn't want Poseidon killed). Instead they went before the Gods with Cecrops presenting the evidence. The Gods voted. All the males voted for Poseidon and all the Goddesses voted for Athena, except for Zeus - who refused to give his opinion. Therefore, Athena won the decision by one vote.
Poseidon was pissed, and - like the stupid boy he was - threw a temper tantrum and flooded another one of Athena's cities (called Athenae on the Thriasian Plain). So Athena moved to Athens, took residence there and named that city after herself too. But, to help Poseidon's ego, the women of Athens were deprived of their vote, and men were no longer to carry their mothers' names.
Love and Kids and Virginity
Athena

Athena was loved by most everyone, and was a very loving person herself. But she loved everyone in the filial sense (like a sister), and was completely uninterested in sex. There were tons of Gods who would have given their eyes to marry her, but she was completely disgusted by the idea. Once, during the Trojan War, Athena had to ask Hephaestus to make her a set of armor and weapons. She offered to pay him, but Hephaestus insisted that his only payment would be love. She completely missed the sexual innuendo and agreed. When she came to Hephaestus' smithy to pick up her stuff, he came at her and tried to ravage her. Obviously that didn't happen. Don't think to badly of Hephaestus though, it really wasn't all his fault. Poseidon had played a joke on him and told him that Athena was on her way to the smithy hoping to make violent love to him. Athena totally ran away from the unfortunate Hephaestus, but she didn't move quite fast enough and he ejaculated on her leg. Athena was completely grossed out, and wiped it off with a piece of wool that she then dropped on the Earth. That would be Gaia, and she was fertilized by the semen on the wool. Gaia was revolted at the very idea of it, and so she refused to bring the child up. Athena was fine with this and decided to bring the kid, who she named Erichthonius ("Earth-born"), up herself. There is more to this story (involving love, suicide, and people getting turned into stone), but if you want to know it, you better check it out in the Myth Pages. Unfortunately it is not there yet, so you're just gonna have to wait.
Kindness and Temper

In general, Athena was a really nice goddess. She was very modest, like Artemis, but much more generous. Athena, like Artemis, was surprised by an enraptured onlooker while bathing, but she didn't kill him or transform him or rip him to shreds or anything. She laid her hands over his eyes and blinded him, but gave him inward sight and the ability to understand the birds' signs to tell the future. As a result, Teiresias (that was his name) was highly respected and revered from then on. So that wasn't bad at all.

Athena was, as I said, generally cool. But every once in a while she got all pissy (as gods tend to get) and lashed out. Once, was a rather minor incident when she invented this double stemmed flute. She was really excited about it, and went around playing it everywhere. That is, until someone happened to mention that she looked absolutely ridiculous with her cheeks puffed out like that to play. She was furious and threw the flute onto the ground where it was picked up by Marsyas, but that's another story. Las Hilanderas by Diego Velasquez The one time Athena really lost it for something petty was in the story of Arachne, and that story isn't even really Greek. Arachne was this Lydian princess who was a fabulous weaver. She was so good that people said she was better than Athena. Athena heard and was all like, "Excuuuuuuse me? Please girl, I was weaving before humans existed," and challenged Arachne to a weave-off. They both made beautiful tapestries, and both were completely flawless, except Arachne's made fun of the Gods. Athena was bitter and very pissed and ripped Arachne's work to shreds in a cold, vengeful rage. Arachne totally didn't mean to upset her heroine and hung herself, but Athena remembered herself, and saved the girl by turning her into a spider and giving her the ability to weave forever. In a variation on the same theme, Servius reports that Athena loved this Attic chick, but the girl (Myrmex) went out and betrayed Athena's trust by claiming to have invented the plow herself, when it was really Athena. See, if they were both mortal, there would have been all this drama, someone would have gone home crying ... but Athena just turned the girl into an ant for being so presumptuous and that was the end of that.
Athena, by Richard Franklin Names and Stories

Athena is often referred to in mythology, but if you don't know her names, sometimes these references can be hard to catch. She is often called Pallas, or Pallas Athene. This name comes from a childhood friend she had, a nymph, who she accidentally killed when they were having a mock battle. Athena was distraught and carried her friend's name with her forever more. The name, Pallas, means Maiden. And as Athena is often referred to in this form - which can refer to her Virginity, her Youthful Strength, or her Independence - you should definitely know what it means.
Often you will find references to her as "gray-eyed", a reference which seems linked only to Athena and may have something to do with her wisdom. There is one weird reference by Pausanias about Athena having blue eyes. That comes from a Libyan story that Athena was the daughter of Poseidon and Lake Tritonis, and because of that has blue eyes like her father. But this story is not generally accepted, and you aren't going to find a blue-eyed Athena anywhere except on one statue next to a specific Temple of Hephaestus, so don't worry about it. Sometimes she is called "bright-eyed" but that is common to all Gods.
Athena, by Adrienne Maples

In Cylarabes there is an Athena called Pania. This name, I am guessing, comes from her discovery of the flute. In Athens they called her Athena Ergane (Worker) and were very devoted to her because of her crafts. The story of her patronship of Athens is really cool, and I told it above. She was called Athena Aethyia (Gannet, a type of bird), and I don't know why yet, but there was a Rock dedicated to this where the hero Pandion died.

Tritogeneia was another name of Athena's. It could have come from three different sources. Geneia means "born" in Greek, and so it could be a reference to the idea that Athena was born from the Lake Tritonis. It also could have been from tritô, the Aeolian word for "head", therefore "head-born" - which would make a lot of sense. The other idea is that the trito was from the root meaning "three" and that she was the third child (she was the third Olympian daughter of Zeus after Artemis and Apollo).

Okay - there are SO many epithets of Athena that I don't have room or patience to discuss all of them in detail, but here's a list I copied directly out of Robert E. Bell's Women of Classical Mythology: A Biographical Dictionary (BUY IT!): Acraea, Aethyia, Ageleia, Agoraea, Alalcomeneis, Alcimache, Alcis, Alea, Amublia, Anemotis, Apaturia, Areia, Asia, Assesia, Axiopoenos, Boulaia, Budeia, Chalinitis, Chryse, Cleidouchos, Colocasia, Coryphasia, Cydonia, Ergane, Glaucopis, Hellotia, Hippia, Hippolatis, Hygieia, Iasonia, Itonia, Laosos, Laphria, Larissaea, Lindia, Longatos, Magarsia, Munychia, Narcaea, Nedusia, Nice, Onca, Ophthalmitis, Optiletis, Oxydercis, Paeonia, Pallas, Pallenis, Panachaea, Pareia, Parthenos, Phrygia, Polias, Poliuchos, Polyboulos, Promachorma, Pronaea, Pylaitis, Saitis, Salpinx, Sciras, Soteira, Telchinia, Triton, Xenia, Zosteria.

They passed the lab with the "alien" device still surrounded in a blue field of some sort. Then finally reach the lab. As the L-Tee went forward Inga took his place as rear guard.

Whatever pains or concerns she had were put aside, Rangers did their jobs until they retired or died, that was it.

the safety was off and she carried her rifle in ready position. She had her grenades close at hand as well. This was certainly without a doubt the weirdest mission she had ever been on, and she bets it was the same for the others. If...not when they got out of here they would have free drinks for some time.

If they would be allowed to take about it, the thought crossed her mind that they might be sworn to secrecy. She never agree much with that felling people should know about these things and not have to always just wonder. But as a Ranger that was not her decision as long as she was a Ranger.

Brianna internalized what Vatta had said but showed no reaction. First of all Lorae was well able to take care of herself as Brianna had been so clearly shown on many occasions. Secondly she had taught herself not to show to much reaction to information to others. it might give them more information about her than she wanted know. It was not that she didn't trust Vatta but it was such an ingrained habit that she often was not even aware she was doing it. However Brianna caught Vatta's shrug when she didn't answer and felt that she should add something.

"Lorae is Lorae." Brianna comment to Vatta and Xuor by way of explaination.. "I would not hare off after a stranger that way but she works under a different code than I do. However she will not abandon us for this stranger she will do what she can for him as she feels necessary to do."

Brianna turns back and keeps a look out for the shop. Blacksmiths usually were busy people the handled metal work of just about every kind, weapons, armor, farm tools, household pot and pans, and other household needs.and hopefully this one was and would be open.

"You know we might have the blacksmith take a look at the shoes on our horses tomorrow. In climbing we want the shoes on tight and perhaps some caulks on the heels so they can dig in better."

Brianna smelled the smoke first and then heard the ringing of a hammer on the anvil."

"Ah, there it is," Brianna points our to the study stone building set apart fromt he cottage nearby.

A wagon stood in the yard a horse hooked up to but also tie securely to a tree with the back axle jacked up and the wheeel was missing.

Dae does her best to not laugh as Alex pops awake and asks about the "peering eyes".

"That was prying eyes, Master Trueblood," she give Zara a quick look and sees that her half sister turned to muffle her chuckles in her cloak. "I meant it as a metaphorical statement and not a literal one."

She pauses and looks to the northeast, "But that is not to say that we are not being watched. We were warned that a Dragon was seen patrolling the borders of the Barrens. Luckily is was reported as golden, though the spotters could have been wrong and it could be a yellow. There are any number of animals and humanoid races not friendly to humans and elves roaming about.

Subject: Morgana


Morgana sipped her l lemon-limeade appreciated the tart tangy citrus flavors. She did not often drink alcohol, some wines of course, but rarely anything stronger. She looked up to Rhiannon neither of them much appreciated the more raucous music that was now playing. It was music technically, but not her sort.

Tonight they had both had a gig at a local Celtic pub. The ancient folk tunes in Gaelic, Welsh and a few in English had been their repertoire for the evening. This wasn’t their usually gathering place preferring quieter less crowded venues, even if this place was know to be a gathering spot for the Gifted, but they had been drawn here by dreams. Morganna and Rhiannon had always shared the dreams and feelings. It was one way they had to sort out what was important to more than to just themselves. Therefore, when they felt the urge to come here after several nights dreaming they came, and waited and waited.

Morgana caught Rhia’s attention and looked at her watch and motioned with her hands “3” and “0” their signal for 30 minutes. Over the years, the twins had developed their own hand talk. More than just signals, but they were able to carry on whole conversations with gestures if they had wanted to. IT was not any known dead-mute signing languages but their own creation.

Rubbing her eyes Morgana looked around again, for what she was not sure. Both she and Rhiannon had felt the tug that brought them here. They watched and waited for whatever it was. Both were a bit tired because of the time differential, especially after the long flight from Wales to LA. They had accepted a small gig at the pub on their return returned from several concerts over in England and Ireland, and before they left, they had visited their Welsh grandparents. It was there that they had learned the latest from their parents, who were officially listed as dead, but were very much a live. It was hard knowing you parents were alive but as good as dead to you, but to protect them and the lives they had carved out for themselves it was necessary to keep the secret.

The twins had mutually agreed after they had shared their dreams that they would come here and investigate the urge they had felt.

One kept watch visually one kept watch on thing not visual. Morgan was currently “Seeing” things around the room. The Gifted ran the gauntlet from light to dark. What surprised her was the number of darker auras that she “saw” however, this place was a neutral zone and by common consent and tradition, all animosities stopped at the door—well outward animosities at least. There were plenty left that were unexpressed while in this place. But most were here to be with other Gifted, even the mundane hanger-ons.

When the shots rang out it Morganna ducked behind the nearest column. She did not have to say anything to Rhiannon as she has seen her move just a quickly, martial training had sharpened her reactions and she ws glad of the training she had had,especially right now,

Morgana looked out to see what was happening, while holding herself ready to aid or protect as needed. Her eyes were drawn to a young woman in dark colored clothes stood with a smoking gun in her hands. Like ripples from a rock thrown in a pond, people were moving away from her. While the shooting was completely unexpected in this place, what was stranger, was that Morganna “recognized” the young woman even though she also knew she had never seen her before. No, her “seeing” was not the visual kind but rather a recognition.

Looking around the room Morgana scanned for anyone moving to targeting the woman. She used her insight to know the good guys form the bad guys though just to make sure. One could be mislead. NAs she would hate thaving hat happen.

Eldarwen looks into the eyes of the elven woman, yes it probably would be a waste of time and effort to try to dake their departure when every one here seems to know what they were going to be doing.

"Yes it is best we leave quickly. Though, HE could have had the decency to reveal this all in private," Eldarwen states as she turns to follow the elven woman out of the inn. She picked up her pack and settled it comfortably on her shoulders.

Eldarwen tried to figure out how long it would take them to reach Altair on foot. The other might have horses but she didn't. However she was a fast walker. She did a lot of that in her line of work the forest was not a good place to do a lot of riding unless it was light forest or a coniferous forest. Around here it was mostly deciduous forest with a few conifers and lots of undergrowth.

Once Alex is settled on the rug she pulls out another pillow from her bag and offers it to him to rest against. Then flies over to each of the others takes out a wand.

"There you go all of the horse are sped it will last you long enough to get to those hills." She puts the wand away with a flourish and settles down commanding the rug go up and to go faster.

The distance to the low hills dwindles and their speeding horses cover twice the ground as normal.

Subject: Bronwyn


Bronwyn was not sure exactly how long it to her to move through the fives stages of grief. At first, there was denial. She was so sure Buttercup had just fallen and even after the pony showed no response at all she continued to tug on the lead line until her brain told her Buttercup would never rise again. She had passed through anger a well anger railing at the fate that ad brought her here at this time and place, until her brain told her that is just happenstance. She had passed through Bargaining to. She offered her services or anything she could think of for her pony to live again. Her rather irreligious beliefs ended that stage quickly enough. Who could answer her wish for her pony to live when prayers for her mother were never heard. They rarely answered the pleas of their worshippers, so her brain told her. The depression she felt was profound but her brain told her it was non-productive. So with the acceptance of her pony’s untimely demise she rose and pull off Buttercup’s saddle and saddle bags and removed the halter and the nose band from Buttercup’s nose that had kept her quiet. Buttercup would not whinny again, never take sugar form her hand or sniff around for a bit of honey bun or a carrots freshly pick from Gram’s garden.

Bronwyn set Buttercups tack aside and then took the saddlebags and hid them deep in a thicket. They would be there later when she returned.

No she was no combat mage, she had never been in a battle of any kind before today, but her people had wrested a living out of the earth by the sweat of their brows, the strength of their hands and by dogged determination to make their lives better by their hard work with the earth. Her family had stuck it out and had prospered as well. She was of their blood, They had never run away from the hard work the long hours, tough times, naturals disasters, such as floods, storms, fires locust invasion and other sorts of invasions by armies, and brigands--they had never given up. Her family had lived and work that farm for generation/ Every time it was destroyed they rebuilt and restocked. They had started from scratch many times, and they had prevailed.

Bronwyn turns to look at the keep and then turning to Elendil, she spoke quietly and without emotion since she was drained of those for the time being, though it was a bit strained, and a little rough.

“I have one fireball left but that is about it besides my wand of Magic Missile and some minor cantrips. I can cast invisibility on myself. Can we get in there? If not by that gate,, then perhaps by some other way. I wouldn’t mind using it on those goblins.”

At first Eldarwen listened to the women words pretty much matter-of-factly, but something made her stop and listen more closely. She talked of the prophecy and as far as Eldarwen knew she had not been there last night when those words had been spoken.

"You know, just some advice that I should follow, some details are in plain view, you just need to look hard. It happens to me all the time. I'm usually reading, and all of a sudden I hit a part where it's as though I have no idea what's happening you see? But then I go back, and I read it again, and I find things that I didn't see the first time. Maybe, with all this talk of prophecy and whatnot, you should do the same.”

It was almost as if there were another message in her words that if one wasn’t attentive might be totally over looked. It might mean something or if could be nothing but Eldarwen would not ignore them just in case they were important.

Then she seemed to totally ignored Eldarwen’s attempt to mislead these folk by telling everyone they were splitting up.

“Well, best wishes on your trip to Altair you three!"

I don't know where you got that information I am headed back to my woods. I am a ranger not an adventurer. But thanks you for your well wishes for my trip."

Eldarwen watched her leave and turned to the other two with her. “Five mile out on the road towr Altair. I will meat you then in half an hour.”

Eldarwen stops by the heath with a hearty fire burning she drops the message in and watches it until it is consummed taking a poker and scattering the ashes. She leaves the sack of food with the others taking out only her portion.
