smarter than me. The goddess of wisdom and military victory, I am the favorite daughter of the mighty Zeus. Although my brother Ares is the god of war, and I, the goddess of battle strategy, he loves the bloodshed, while I love the planning and thinking, and therefore we constantly clash. I have never fallen to the claws of Aphrodites love, and do not have any blood children. The owl is one of my constant companions, as well as my representative symbol, as it is very wise, like my student, Arachne, should have been. at the loom. Although her skills were impeccable, she did not have the sense to be humble, and (start getting louder and louder until at rage level) instead went about boasting that MY tapestries were no match for HERS! She challenged me at the loom, and I wove a beautiful, flawless tapestry depicting the gods in all of our glory, and although Arachne had no errors, she had chosen to mock the gods with hers! I raged, turning this horrid girl into the eight-legged crawler that she deserved to be. Her lesson should be learned by all others, for it is good to have talent and skill, but one must not discount the abilities of others when they think they are the best. See my shield? Look closely and you will see the head of the Gorgon, Medusa! Hair of snakes and eyes that turned others to stone! Perhaps she thought she was powerful Yet, here she rests, forever in my grasp. Defeated by a true female warrior. Yes, Ive helped fought many battles in my day, alongside Hercules and Perseus; opposing Hera, Aphrodite, Teiresias, even Enkelados in the War of the Giants! Perhaps you still want to call on me envoke the power of the mightiest Greek goddess! Do not doubt my great strength, power, and wisdom. Never underestimate Athena!
