Athena

Placeholderss of Knowledg
Athena is the Goddess of Knowledge, virginity, war, and foresight. She is thought of as Zeus' favorite child because Zeus trusts her to carry his mighty lightning bolts.

Athena's knowledge is so great that it is said thet she taught mankind how to weave and how to make the first chariots. But her greates moment of planning and strategy is when she and Poseidon had an argument about who should be able to name what is now known as Athens.

Poseidon said that he should be the one to name the great city because he was mightier than her, but Athena noted that it was not he who would be living in the great city, that it should be the mortals who chose the god they would worship.

Poseidon, not seing Athena's plan, agreed and so they created a great "flag" each that would mark there territory and which ever the mortals chose would have that god as their leader.

Poseidon made a grand saltwater fountain appear in the center of the city and Athena planted an olive tree in the outskirts of the city where the farmers starved to death as they harvested what they could for the citizens. The farmers noticed Athena's gift and ate plentifully from it and the inhabitants of the city got what the farmers could still harvest and so Athena won the challenge.

Ares is Athena's rival.
