There were coins discovered known as the "Owl of Athena," which bear the Greek letters alpha, theta, and epsilon. These letters form an abbreviated term for "of the Athenians." The coin, valued at a drachma, was colloquially referred to as "glaukes," meaning "owl" in today's language. This is similar to how "loonies" are used in Canada to refer to their currency featuring a loon. The "Owl of Athena" coins were minted to honor the goddess Athena and make an excellent choice for a pendant.
I’m so glad I requested this video. As always I learned a lot! I love your attention to detail. I really appreciate all of the altar ideas you suggested! You sparked my creativity. Thank you so much for doing this video! ✨
Medusa was originally a gorgon, the myths about medusa being a mortal woman as well as the arachne myth are Roman myths about Minerva, not Greek. Athena is also good to work with if you don't fall into the gender binary. Athena is also associated with invention as she invented a few things. It is also my upg that IT stuff falls into her domain (she's helped me a lot with computer stuff) I personally feel a better understanding of 'metis' would be to translate it to 'cleverness' as it's about knowing how to use your knowledge and skills. She was my first deity after she reached out to me and she had been absolutely wonderful, not intimidating at all to me personally.
There are many different versions of the Medusa myth… One in which Medusa is the victim of assault and Athena gives her a face Poseidon will never find attractive…. Sweet video way to put their names out there.
Huh, I've never really felt intimidated by Athena, but then again I work with her mostly as Athena Ergane (her handicrafts aspect). She demands "arete" (personal excellence) from her devotees, but not in a strict or overbearing manner. She just wants you to try your best and practice your crafts with as much skill as you can.
This was an awesome video, I believe you did a great job on covering Athena in a way it's respectful but also knowledgable in wht to expect when worshipping her haha. Definitely will stick with the dieties I am with now. Would love to see Hera or Hestia.

I honestly have too much nurturing in my life so Athena is perfect 😂

I always choose Athena when I play Hades

@@amandamcdunnYeah thats the Roman one by Ovid, and it is actually a lot more vague whether it was assault or seduction.

Thanks Kristi, WOW.....I think I will stay with Nyx.
😅 I get it, Athena is a bit intimidating!

Such great information about Athena! Would love to see a video done on Aphrodite as well. 💜
I think this is a great way to honor Athena.
I have watched the one dedicated to Nyx I can’t wait to see/watch the goddess playlist & future ones to come 🌛🌑🌜✨
