The First wife of Zeus, Metis, became pregnant, and was preparing to give birth to a daughter and a son. Zeus became known that the son born of Metido, rise up and throw him from Olympus. Without hesitation, Zeus swallowed his wife. And immediately suffered the attack - he had unbearable headache. Unable to bear the excruciating pain, he was ordered to split his head. Blacksmith Hephaestus with one blow split the skull of Zeus, and because of the broken head appeared the goddess Athena. A son is lost, not born.

AthenaThe Daughter of Zeus, goddess Athena, who possessed the courage of a lion and the caution of a cat, she was always armed with a spear and shield, on his head he wore a helmet. On the edge of her clothes glided the snakes, symbolizing the inevitability. However, with all the weapons, the virgin-warrior was quite peaceful. She never let go the spear, but never raised it on anyone. Only once the goddess slightly scratched them Hephaestus, resisting his advances.

Stately and proud, Athena was the only goddess on mount Olympus, dressed in battle armor. The visor of her helmet was always raised, the divine person was to the world. When the goddess Athena took a vow of celibacy and chastity, its name became the name of the chief Greek city. Now it was the city of Athens.

The Goddess was a patron of martial arts and combat skills. Under her tutelage were a peaceful craft, weaving, pottery, blacksmith and furrier. Athena gave the people the ability to make such necessary things, as the harness for horses, wagons, plows, rakes, clamps, she taught winegrowers, leather craftsmen and Coopers. Under its patronage appeared skilled sailors who know how to build durable ships for distant voyages.

Pallas Athena daughter of ZeusOften the goddess Pallas Athena was depicted in military armour, holding in one hand a spear and in the other a spindle with a wound on his yarn. At the same time on her shoulder, and she sat the owl, symbol of wisdom. Athena strove for the superiority of the mind over the instincts favoured a low-key strategy in addressing all life issues. Taught people of practicality, ambition and tenacity in achieving their goals.

Pallas Athena and HephaestusThe Main position, which strictly followed the goddess Pallas Athena, is a consistent development of wildlife, its subordination of human needs. Such an approach denounced the goddess Artemis, who believed that all living things in nature should be outside of human influence. And that's the desire of Athens to compliance of all laws, respect for statehood on Olympus was welcomed, many gods supported in this goddess-warrior Athena.

Once Athena had a fight with the sea God Poseidon. In a fight with him, she won. After that the goddess Athena became the unchallenged dominion over Attica. Then she helped Perseus to destroy the Gorgon. Then with the help of Athena Jason builds a ship and sails for the Golden Fleece. Pallas Athena protects Odysseus, and he safely returns home after winning the Trojan war. No event on the Olympus is complete without the participation of Athena, the goddess of knowledge and crafts, arts and inventions, the patron of the military battles and everyday life of ordinary people. Some critics argue that Athena is the goddess of something uncertain, takes under his protection all indiscriminately. It is impossible to accept. Pallas Athena - goddess versatile and multi-faceted.
