I am Athena, the goddess of wisdom. Of all animals the one I love most is the owl. I like to help people, but I prefer to help those that help themselves rather than expect everything on a silver platter. I am a first-rate warrior but I also love the arts and letters. Weaving is also one my favourite pastimes. My weaving work is the best in the world, better even than that foolish girl’s, Arachne, whom I was forced to compete with. The series Tales from Greek Mythology offers a new reading of the ancient Greek myths. They are not old, worn-out stories, but gripping tales of timeless human adventures, containing all the fears and joys that have marked and continue to mark the human soul.

A spunky, feminist take on the myth of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, war, and courage From the moment she sprung from Zeus’s head, Athena was extraordinary. Even though some doubted her as a young goddess, Athena never backed down from a fight. Poseidon wants to be the patron god of a nearby city? Well, so does Athena! And she’s going to outwit him and found Athens. Perseus doesn’t know how to defeat Medusa? No problem! Athena can give him the knowledge (and shield) he needs to take off her head. Odysseus is lost at sea, seemingly doomed? Not anymore! Athena can get him home. Follow the goddess of wisdom through her adventures with gods and mortals, discover the perils of crossing her, and see how she eventually learned to better understand and aid the human race.
