Hey I’m Athena, but you can call me Nike or Minerva, but I prefer Nike, Like the shoe. My father is Zeus, you know, like the king? And my mother is Metis. I’m daddy’s favorite child, but he almost killed me before I was born. He was scared that I would be a son mightier than him and so he swallowed my mom when she was pregnant. My brother Hephaestus saved me when he cut open daddy’s head and I came out fully grown with a helmet and armor on. Yeah I know. I have kind of a weird family. Now I live in Athens, obviously, because it’s my city and it was named after me. It’s Latitude and Longitude is 37-580 N, 23-430 E.

My Myths: Before Athens was named after me, there was this man named Cecrops who was trying to find a patron god or goddess for his city state. Uncle Poseidon and I both volunteered, so Cecrops told us both to leave gifts that we thought would be valuable. Poseidon decided to hit the ground with his stick to make a well, but the water was salty and nobody wanted it. And of course I planted a beautiful olive tree that everyone loved and that symbolized peace and prosperity.Of course uncle Poseidon was too stubborn to admit that I beat him, so he cursed Athens with a drought that lasted hundreds of years.

A couple years later I helped Perseus in his quest to slay Medusa. I mean what can I say? I had nothing against Medusa, but her head looks fantastic on my shield, don’t you think?

Current pop culture: Yeah that’s me:]

Music: I love Fireflies by Owl City, Athena by The Who, and Battlefield by Jordan Sparks, Hero of War by Rise Against, and The General by Dispatch.

TV/Movies: I love movies about war like Glory, Braveheart, and The Patriot. I like movies that teach a lesson about wisdom, like the Bucket List. I like Winnie the Pooh because the owl is very wise and my sign is an owl and I am the goddess of wisdom. My fav youtube video :) media type="youtube" key="-HltQ118M2M" height="344"

My Friends: I'm friends with most of the other gods except Ares, Eris, Strife and Enyo. This is the god of war and his family. My best friend is Metis, who is my mother.Memnosyne is also a good friend of mine. People say I'm jealous of Medusa, but I really am not. I just don't like her.

My Interests: I love training horses. I was the first one to train and domesticate a horse. I like to read war books and watch war movies. I like children, and educating them. I teach them to make wise decisions. I have a nice armor collection that I like to add to whenever I have free time.
