Athena is the daughter of Zeus. She sprang full grown in armour from
his forehead, thus has no mother. She is fierce and brave in battle
but, only fights to protect the state and home from outside enemies.
She is the goddess of the city, handicrafts, and agriculture. She invented
the bridle, which permitted man to tame horses, the trumpet, the flute,
the pot, the rake, the plough, the yoke, the ship, and the chariot.
She is the embodiment of wisdom, reason, and purity. She was Zeus's
favourite child and was allowed to use his weapons including his thunderbolt.
Her favourite city is Athens. Her tree is the olive. The owl is her
bird. She is a virgin goddess.
