Athena is the daughter of Zeus, the God of Gods and her mother was Metis, the Goddess of Wisdom

Zeus was afraid that Athena was going to be a boy and there fore the son would be stronger than Zeus

He thought that because when the God of Gods has a son then the son will be stronger than the God of Gods

So Zeus turned Metis into a fly and ate her

Then a pain started in Zeus’s head he told Hermes to open up his head and take out the pain

So when he opened Zeus’s head Athena jumped out fully grown

Athena was born from Zeus’s forehead

Athena was the Goddess of Wisdom, Arts, War, Skill, Industry, And Justice

Most people know her of just the Goddess of Wisdom and War

Athens is a town in Greece Athena and her uncle Poseidon fought against each other

to take over a town they both really liked The both of them were suppose to give the town a gift and

which ever gift the town liked then the person who gave the gift would win the town

Poseidon gave a spring(river or ocean), which stopped trade and the water was too salty to drink so the Greeks didn’t like the gift

Athena gave the town a olive tree It was used for fruit, oil, and wood So they picked the olive tree gift So the town Athens was named after Athena herself

Although she is the Goddess of War she does not fight she chose’s the warriors who are wise

While being the Goddess of Wisdom she has an owl by her side

This is Athena’s owl

On the lower side of the olive tree is a grey leaf

When the wind blows and brings up the leaves you can see Athena’s eyes

Athena’s nickname was Pallas Athena She got that nickname because Pallas was her friend when

she was a child Until one day Athena injured Pallas accidently and then the

injury killed Pallas So that Pallas would always be remembered Athena took

her name

She helped Perseus kill Medusa She helped Odysseyus follow his dreams on his long

journey home from Troy She told Heracles how to skin a Neaman Lion

Since Athena is Zeus’s favorite daughter he let her have…
