Hey! Thanks for the kind words.
Scott Bernard
thank you, that is quite the compliment. I will do my best to do justice to the Olympians.
We've seen the faces of physical courage, unbridled chaos and the freewheeling, untamable seas. Now, for a somewhat more cerebral experience, we visit a humble reading nook on Mount Olympus.

Athena is the Goddess of many things, probably due to her popularity and her patronage of the influential city state that bore her name. Chief among her domains are Wisdom and War, but only prudent, defensive war. Unlike her belligerent and bloodthirsty half-brother Ares, Athena forebears when the threat is over, though one would be a fool to take her mercy for weakness. Austere and forward-thinking, she is the archetype of pragmatism.

Depending on who you ask, the Grey-Eyed Goddess either has no mother or her mother is the unfortunate titaness Metis. Metis was the first consort of Zeus whom he ate to prevent her from bearing a son which could depose him. Nine-months later, Athena sprang fully-grown and fully-armed from her father's head, scion of her consumed mother.

Although Zeus favors her, and he frequently relies on her sage counsel, the awkward circumstances of her birth and the hypocrisy of her father has kept her aloof from him. With an unusual birth and descent from Zeus, she has much in common with the heroes of Greek myth. She has taken it upon herself to "foster" her many half-siblings, becoming their mentor and benefactor, mothering them in the way Metis was never able to.
