Athena The Goddess Of Wisdom
Athena is the daughter of Zeus, but has no mother. Zeus took her from her mother before birth and placed her in his body. She was born as an adult with armor around her body. In the Illiad, Athena is the warrior goddess, but in poetry she is known for wisdom, reason, and purity. Athena is also the first of three virgin goddesses, also known as Parthenos, which the Parthenon (a massive building located in Greece) was dedicated in her name.
