She was the daugther of Zeus alone. No mother bore her. Full-grown and in full armor, she sprang from his head. In the earliest account of her, the Iliad, she is a fierce and ruthless battle-goddess, but elsewhere she is warlike only to defend the state and the home from outside enemies. She was pre-eminently the Goddess of the City, the protector of civilized life, of handicrafts and agriculture, the inventor of the bridle, who first tanned horses for men to use.
She was Zeus's favorite child. He trusted her to carry the awful aegis, his buckler, and his devastating weapon, the thunderbolt.
Of the virgin Goddesses she was the chief and was called the maiden, Parthenos, and her temple he Parthenon. In later, she is he embodiment of wisdom, reason, and purity.
Athens was her special city.

great content.. keep up the good work
my favorite goddess is Athena. she was the goddess of civilization, persuasion, independence, plus she was a teacher, therapist, counselor, Guide, and a peace maker. plus she could heal, restore and move dark elements in human beings. and she was zues favorite child, she was his ally protector and was the only god to be entrusted with zues golden sheild and the knowledge of where zues kept his lightning bolts.
