Athena Greek goddess
of war wisdom handcrafts
a three fold mystery a warrior goddess
as Athena Promachos wearing a helmet holding
a spear she was believed to lead Greek soldiers
into close quarter combat battle a strange contrast to Athena
as Ergane patron of craft cooking weaving
a wife women's stay at home skills
as Athena Promachos
meaning Athena who fights
in the front line the most
honoured prestigious place in battles
place of elite bravest most skilled
Athena warrior goddess protectress of Athens
