Nicolina Ursetta - The Greek Goddess Athena

       Have you ever met anyone that was born out of their dads head? Are you sure? Well lucky for you to find this blog, because a Greek goddess named Athena was born in a very extraordinary way! Lets start from the beginning, Athena's mom (Metis) thought that she was going to have a boy. Then Zeus (the father) didn't want his son to conquer  him so Zeus ate Metis. So her mother ended up having a girl.So that leads to Athena's mom having Athena in Zeus. Finally one day Zeus was having major headaches and he went to Ares, Hephaestus, and Poseidon, they cracked open his head and Athena was a fully armed woman in her fathers head.

      Athena was the goddess of wisdom and war. She hated the idea of fighting with out a purpose because she was a very loving person. Athena had no children or spouse. Which is hard to believe since she was so loving. The goddess of war & wisdom was one of the 12 Olympians. The 12 Olympians were the principal gods. The 12 main Olympians were Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Athena, Dionysus, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Aphrodite, Hephaestus and Hermes.

        Athena had a very good impact on the Greeks. The Greeks probably honored and loved Athena because she was very loving and nice. I think that they would have thrown roses and cherish her a lot. That's my opinion because as people say treat others as you want to be treated and she did that. To me she seems like she would be the goddess of love instead of war but that's just my opinion. I guess that's pretty much it for now!
