Athena

Athena

  Athena was the child of Zeus, but she had no mother. She was formed entirely from thoughts. She sprang from Zeus's brain fully grown. She became the goddess of wisdom, which makes sense because she was born from thoughts, and battle. On the battle part, she was not vicious or bloodthirsty like Ares. She was the goddess of battle that included wisdom and strategy.

  Athena has a rivalry with Poseidon, for many reasons. She and Poseidon battled to be the patron god of the city of Athens. Poseidon created horses as his gift. Athena created the olive tree. The people of Athens chose Athena. As payback, Poseidon brought his mortal girlfriend Medusa to a temple of Athena. Athena looked down at them and became furious. She turned Medusa into a hideous creature with snakes for hair. She became Medusa, who could turn people into stone with a look of her eyes.
