A Day At Fice

Artemis moved her head to the side to see who was talking to Athena, goddess of wisdom and war. It was Zeus, their father and ruler of the Olympian gods. Athena nodded at him and she then proceeded to walk away without another word. Artemis stepped

"No, my Lord. She is listening in, I'm sure, and with her origins, the creature you seek is a daemon she has probably dealt with."

Ares and Athena both represented different parts of war, but without each other the Greeks would not have an army, because their different approaches relied upon each other. Athena took a graceful, strategic approach considering all the possibilities(“The role of

.I'm sure many people have heard about Greek mythology, from gods to goddesses to centaurs the Greek myths have been both informative and entertaining . I'm here to tell you about one goddess in particular, Athena , the beautiful war goddess that has a quite intriguing life story. Athena was the goddess of wisdom, war, courage and etc.Her powers consist of agriculture, spinning, needlework and navigation. She was considered a goddess of war, but also she is the patron goddess of Athens. Hence why it is named after her. Athena was very fierce and brave in all her battles.She is one of the virgin goddesses, alongside Hestia and Artemis.Homer’s poem, the Iliad, stated that Athena was a fierce and ruthless warrior. But in the Odyssey, she was angry and unforgiving. Athena had a very unusual birth , she was not normally born by her mother Metis, instead Hephaestus split open her father Zeus’s , head after his complaint about an aching headache .Then Athena sprang out fully grown and dressed in armor. How , you might ask ? Well , Zeus went to bed with Metis,

When Hephaestus was born Zeus and Hera were in an argument. Heras anger built up and she grabbed Hephaestus by the leg and threw him off Mount Olympus. Hera said that he was the most appalling child she had and that she wanted nothing to do with him. Therefore, for nine days and nine nights he fell from Mount Olympus to the seas. He was then brought up by Thetis and Eurynome. Thetis was the god of the sea and the leader of all fifty Nereides. She was married to Peleus who was chosen for her. Eurynome was the third wife of Zeus and she actually caught him as he was falling from Mount Olympus. The two gods raised the boy and taught him all the skills he needed to know. Especially what it take to be an amazing artist. This incident made Hephaestus have to walk with a walking stick. As Hephaestus grew up he became the father of Blacksmiths. Hephaestus developed armor for Archillies, who was in the Trojan War, and many more accessories. Due to the amount of work he did, he always had crud on his clothing. The dirt on his clothing proved his hard work. The act of being a craftsman met a lot to

Athena to me is a show of empowerment to woman. She had two very differently respectful sides, much like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. She is known as both the Goddess of Wisdom and of War. She also possessed traits of peace, protection and healing. Athena promised victory to the Greeks who respected and worshiped her so she gained the name Athena Nike, meaning victory. Away from her brutal traits Athena was also a protective of the arts, such as weaving and embroidery. She was also said to have taught men the art of farming and she also invented the arts and crafts of pottery , shoe making, etching, construction and metalworking. Athena also believed in feminism, which, meant that she believed that men and woman deserved equal rights, which she

In the Homeric Hymn 28, Homer describes Athena as, “the glorious Goddess, bright-eyed, inventive, unbending of heart, pure virgin, saviour of cities, courageous” (Rayor 2014:90). In this essay I will discuss the features of Athena that are emphasised in selected mythological tales. This will be done in order to come to a conclusion on the nature of the Greek gods as opposed to the God of Christian religion.

After The war with the titans, Metis told Zeus that if they had a child, it would overthrow Zeus. Panicking zeus swallowed Metis, Then Athena was born straight from zeus's head when hephaestus the blacksmith god used an awl to make a crack in zeus's, then Athena announced herself to the world as the goddess of warfare and wisdom

‘Hold back, men of Ithaka, from the wearisome fighting, so that most soon, and without blood, you can settle everything.’ That is what Athena was about. She wasn’t about fights and/or blood. Although, she is the goddess of justice, she wanted it settled without bloodshed if possible. She is also the goddess of wisdom. She was wiser than 10,000 scholars. In mythology, the Greeks believed that Athena was a warrior, but only to protect the cities from its enemies.

When Hera first found out about these affairs, she hunted the woman down and caught them. Although, as Zeus was caught in a love nest between these women, he did everything in his power to protect them from Hera, in which he did by turning them into little, snow white cows. She demanded him to hand them over, in which he did. As a result, these women were forever trapped, both physically and in cow form. Another example of Hera’s Vindictiveness is when she found out about Zeus’ affair with Dione and their child, Aphrodite. Aphrodite was a beautiful girl and Zeus was afraid that the gods would fight each other to win her affection, therefore, his plan to prevent that from happening was to force her to marry Hephaestus (Hera and Zeus’ son). Hera didn’t like that Aphrodite could potentially be more beautiful than she was so, her revenge on her was to cast Hephaestus off of Olympus, as he was said to be too ‘ugly’ and ‘deformed’ to live among the other gods.

“It's actually a prophecy. There's a secret group trying to put it together,” Zarya started to explain.

The women hold important part of the epics "The Odyssey" and “Oedipus Rex”. In this Essay is will show how each particular female character adds important elements that are essential to the telling of these story.

Among my first steps into the Met’s Greek and Roman Art wing, the over-lifesized statue of Athena’s head was prominent and captivated me immediately. Although a good portion has withered away, one can see a neck guard and a frontlet surrounding the female’s face, which is a clear indication that this was a depiction of the goddess of war, Athena. Athena is known as a protectress and one with great prowess and wisdom. She is also one of the three virgin goddesses. As the daughter of the great Zeus and Meitos, Athena can be deemed as one of the most powerful and masculine goddesses in mythology. It has been said that she was birthed from the head of Zeus, therefore being of a more masculine nature rather than feminine. She is Zeus’ favorite daughter,

“Beautiful. I couldn 't have thought of that. And her middle name? Must I decide that?” the man said.

She had told him many lies like she knew how to speak his language because she was raised by a Trojan nurse. He had fell in love with her, and he didn’t know what he was doing but he had slept with her. They had two sons together named Aeneas and Lyros. One day she had decided to tell him who she really was and asked him if she looked the same when he had first seen her. He had gotten scared and asked her to let him go.
