念音

Athena (also Athene), or Minerva for the Romans, was not born in the usual sense, but sprang into being fully formed and fully armed and uttering her war cry, from the forehead of Zeus.  Thus, she was the goddess of wisdom and the arts.  As a warrior goddess, she often wore the aegis and carried an invincible spear.  But unlike Ares she was not the goddess of war though wisdom often engaged her in strife as a means to peace and ensured her victory over any enemy.
