ATHENE (or Athena) was the great Olympian goddess of wise counsel, war, the defense of towns, heroic endeavour, weaving, pottery and crafts.
She was depicted crowned with a crested helm, armed with shield and spear, and wearing the snake-trimmed aigis cloak wrapped around her breast and arm, adorned with the monstrous head of the Gorgon.
The most famous myths of Athene include:
Her birth from the head of Zeus, fully-grown and arrayed in arms;
Her contest with Poseidon for dominion of Athens in which she produced the first olive tree and he the first horse;
The War of the Giants in which she buried Enkelados beneath Mount Etna and made her aigis from the skin of Pallas;
The attempted rape of the goddess by Hephaistos, who spilled his seed upon the earth and produced Erikhthonios, who she then adopted as her own;
The assisting of Perseus in his quest to slay the Gorgon and the Argonauts in their quest for the Golden Fleece;
The assisting of Herakles with his twelve labours;
The weaving contest with Arakhne who was transformed by the goddess into a spider;
The blinding of Teiresias for viewing her naked in the bath;
The Judgement of Paris in which she competed with Hera and Aphrodite for the prize of the golden apple;
The Trojan War where she sided with the Greeks in battle, but attacked their ships with a storm when they failed to punish Oilean Ajax for violating her Trojan shrine.
