Athena : The Goddess of War!


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Everyone of us has their own favorite Gods or Goddesses. It's very difficult to choose among them. We sometimes imitate or even idolize them. Greek Gods and Goddesses inspired and contributed a lot in Literature and how we look in different pieces. Even though I liked many Goddesses, this Goddess caught my heart.

If I were to be a Goddess, I would choose Athena. She is the Goddess of wisdom, civilization, courage, inspiration, civilization, strength and strategy and also referred as "The Virgin Patron Goddess of Athens" I learned to love her when I was reading The Percy Jackson Series and when we tackled our World History III . Her character there caught my attention and started liking her since then. According to our History teacher back in third year, Athena was remade as the favorite daughter of Zeus, born fully armed from his forehead.

Her story of birth comes with different versions. Zeus had his first wife, Goddess Metis. There was prophecy that Metis' child will be more powerful than Zeus. Zeus feared that and did everything to stop Metis to conceive. He turned Metis into a fly and swallowed it. He was too late, she already conceived Athena. He thought that he was successful but after some days, he experienced headache. He asked his children to help him, no one but Hephaestus had the idea to help. He commanded Zeus to lie down and started to cut his forehead with Minoan Axe. Suddenly, a beautiful and fully armored Athena came out and shouted "and pealed to the broad sky her clarion cry of war. And Ouranos trembled to hear, and Mother Gaia..." that's why, she was also called the Goddess of strategy, a very clever Goddess!
