BIRTH OF ATHENA 


  Athena, also spelled Athene, in Greek religion, the city protectress, goddess of war, handicraft, and practical reason, identified by the Romans with Minerva. She was essentially urban and civilized, the antithesis in many respects of Artemis, goddess of the outdoors. Athena was probably a pre-Hellenic goddess and was later taken over by the Greeks. Yet the Greek economy, unlike that of the Minoans, was largely military, so that Athena, while retaining her earlier domestic functions, became a goddess of war.
She was the daughter of Zeus, produced without a mother, so that she emerged full-grown from his forehead.


SHE IS METIS(ATHENA'S MOM)👆👆



HE'S ZEUS (ATHENA'S DAD) 👆👆


SO HOW WAS ATHENA REALLY BORN ?
After Zeus became king of the cosmos, he and Metis were married, but after hearing a prophecy stating that after Metis gave birth to a daughter, she would have a son mightier than Zeus who would overthrow him, Zeus tricked the still pregnant Metis and swallowed her whole. Metis still managed to bear their daughter Athena, the goddess of wisdom.



YES.....ATHENA WAS THE ONE WHO CURSED MEDUSA 😭😭

He was family faithful man. He never tried to overthrow Zeus. He could have ruled over 3 dimensions but he didn't and let his brother rule them (Look...how kind hearted).  He married Persephon. Poseidon even raped a girl named Medusa and Zeus was sexually attached with many girls...kinda he also raped girls but hades only loved Persephon. He didn't look at any other girl instead of her own girl.  His parents were----Kronos(King of Titans) and Rhea. He was also said as most cruel but comparatively to his brother HERA,NEPTUNE,ZEUS he wasn't cruel at all. This was my opinion  He had a pet dog 'Cerberus' He was a three headed dog and was the g...

  STORY OF MEDUSA Greek mythology is no different. What we are rarely taught about is how Medusa was made to be “Medusa”. As one of the Gorgon sisters, she was originally a golden-haired, fair maiden, beautiful and kind-natured. Medusa devoted herself to a life of celibacy in the name of her goddess, Athena. However, despite her origins of beauty, Medusa’s name quickly became synonymous with malevolence, hatred, and monstrosity. Medusa was a priestess to the goddess Athena, the virgin goddess of wisdom and battle. One requirement to be a priestess for Athena is that the young women should be a virgin and give their life to the goddess. One day, Poseidon (or Neptune), the God of the Sea and rival to Athena, saw Medusa and was mesmerized. But Medusa being a loyal priestess to the Goddess rejected him. And what does he do about it? Rape her of course! And decided to humiliate Athena by raping the priestess on the steps of Athena’s temple. Poseidon vanished after he was done and left M...
