ATHENA GODDESS OF WISDOM
Athena’s parents are the titaness
Metis and Zeus the ruler of gods
and goddess. According to
legend, Athena was born in the
ancient city of Alipheira. When
she was pregnant he swallowed
their child. In order to protect his
kingdom. Nine months pasted
and then Zeus started feeling a
strong pain. He asked
Hephaestus to stop the pain. He
obeyed and open Zeus’s head,
out sprung Athena. She was
already a grownup a was wearing
armor with a shield in her hand
and screaming war like cries.
Zeus instantly made her his favorite.
Athena’s tree is the Olive and the
sacred animal is the Owl. Athena and
Poseidon one day went down to earth.
There was a city and they both wanted
to claim it, so they had a contest, to see
who could give the city something
useful. The god who won got to name
the city. Poseidon struck his trident at
the earth and a well with water came
out of nowhere but it was salty they
said ‘This water is salty! We can not use
it. Athena struck her spear into the
earth and a Olive tree came out. The
people named the city Athens. Poseidon
got really mad and cursed the land. So
it had less water. From now on it has
problems with water shortage.
Once there was a young girl Arachne. Arachne
was a weaver. She was so good that nymphs
and mortals watch her do her work. Now she
boasted that she taught it to herself. One day
she went to far and said that she could compete
with Athena and win. When Athena heard this
she was angry. She transformed in to an old
lady and went to Arachne’s home. She said that
she should not compete with a goddess and
should forgive Athena. Arachne said “I do not
need your words of what you call advice. I know
I am the best. If Athena dares she should come
and compete!” Then Athena sprung up and
turned in to her self. Every one was awed, but
Arachne. Then they had the contest. When they
had finished they gave it to the others who
laughed and said “As all ways Arachne you…”
“Let me see. Now!” said Athena, and went to
see Arachne’s work of art. Arachne had made
fun of the gods.
Athena was outraged
when saw it. She
screamed “You may be
foolish but you can not
dishonor a god or
goddess!” With that she
turned her into a spider.
The others screamed in
fright and ran.
Meropis was a young maiden who lived
with three of her siblings Vysssa her
cousin, Agron her uncle, and her father
Eumelus in the island of Kos. They were
the most known family. For they
dishonored the gods and goddess. One
day Hermes, Artemis and Athena came
and punished them. Meropis got turned
into owl. Vyssa a seagull. Agron
another bird. Eumerlus complained and
got turned into a raven. Never mess
with Athena, Artemis and Hermes!
