Description of character: Athena, the gray-eyed, the wide-browed. The manner of her birth gave her domain over intellectual activities. She sprang out of Zeus' head when he swallowed her mother, Metis, a Titaness. It was she who taught man how to use tools. She taught his wife to spin and weave. She concocted the science of numbers and taught it to man but never woman. She hated Ares, and took great pleasure in thwarting him on the field of battle. For all his mighty strength, she often beat him, because she was a mistress of strategy. Before battle, captains prayed to her for tactics. Before trial, judges prayed to her for wisdom. All in all, she was perhaps the best-loved god in the Pantheon; the people of Athens named their beautiful city after her.
