ATHENA
*Greek
Athena (known to the Romans as Minerva) is the goddess of wisdom and the
daughter of ZEUS and the wise Titaness Metis (who Zeus turned into a fly
and swallowed), Athena helped many heroes, including HERCULES, PERSEUS,
and Bellerophon. On her shield she had the head of MEDUSA, which turned
her enemies to stone. Athens was named after her.
