Background/Myth Roman name: Minerva Other names: Palla, Owl-eyed Goddess of wisdom, craft and war Recognizable attributes Goatskin, Owl, Olive, Helmet, Gorgon’s head Always armed with shield and spear Wears a long robe with a snakeskin cape Important myths: Contest with Poseidon, Heracles, Perseus, Judgement of Paris Father is Zeus and sometimes Metis Mourning Athene

Birth of Athena The Symbol of Athena Birth of Athene: Phrynos Painter, ca 560-550 BC Patriarchy and Matriarchy Theory of Myth seen as Zeus and Athena are both equally powerful. Helmeted head of Athena, profile to the right; her helmet is adorned with an olive wreath. Photograph by Maria Daniels, courtesy of the Dewing Greek Numismatic Foundation, September 1990

War of the Giants (Gigantomachia) Perseus, Athena, and the Head of Medusa 400-386 B.C. Now located in the Museum of Fine arts in Boston. Late Classical period. Perseus gives Athena Medusa’s head after he defeats her because Medusa compares her beauty to Athena’s. Athena had originally transformed Medusa’s hair into serpents for having slept with Poseidon in Athena’s home. Marble relief from an altar dedicated to Zeus. 2nd C. B.C. Pergamonmuseum, Berlin. Athena is fighting off a giant (Alcyoneus)who is winged with serpent legs. She is helped by Herakles and Nike (goddess of victory). Gaea is trying to defend her son.

Contest with Poseidon Judgement of Paris Athena stands facing Poseidon. She is wearing her snake trimmed aegis-cloak and holds a spear. Poseidon holds a trident. Myth as an aetiology is seen as the city of Athens is named after Athena because of this contest. Pictured: Athena (left) with aegis-cloak and spear, Aphrodite (middle): holding a sceptre, and Hera (right) dressed in blue and gold.

Discussion Questions Athena is a virgin goddess with no children, why is it that she is depicted this way? Would Metis be considered the mother of Athena, or is she motherless? How important of a figure was Athena in the lives of the ancient Greeks?
