One day, Athena was bathing in a spring on Mount Helicon at midday with Chariclo. He inadvertently saw Athena completely naked while she was taking a bath. A thena blinded him as a punishment to ensure that he would never again see what a man was not intended to see. After enough persuasion, Athena agreed, but was unable to r estore his sight. Teiresias b ecame the most famous of all ancient Greek seers. Eris , the Goddess of Discord, was prevented from attending the wedding of Peleus and Thetis.
Being insulted like this, she threw her wedding gift from outside the door. They asked Zeus to decide who the rightful owner of the apple. However, sensibly, he decided not to interfere and asked Paris, the Trojan prince , to make the decision instead. Aphrodite bribed Paris by promising him that he would marry the most beautiful mortal woman in the world , and he ended up giving the Golden Apple to her.
This made Hera and Athena begrudge Paris in a big way, which ended up affecting the outcome of the Trojan War. The Iliad is actually the earliest known account of her and portrays her as a fierce warrior in her role as the goddess known for heroic battle. Part of her pro-Greek inclination stems from her love for Menelaus, who led the Spartan contingent of the Greek army.
The other reason for the same is the Judgement of Paris in which Paris chose Aphrodite over her as the most beautiful woman. A thena is a very prominent figure in the Trojan War. S he acts as a calming force, a fellow fighter, an encouraging supporter, a wise counselor and a cunning persuader for the Greeks.
She seem ed to treat the Trojan War like a giant chess game in which men are the pieces and the gods are the hands controlling them. The story of the The Odyssey captures the return of its protagonist Odysseus, the king of Ithaca, to his homeland.

Athena, the mighty Goddess of wisdom and strategy, takes the role of both protection and wisdom i n the epic as she guides the titular character as well as his son Telemachus.
Zeus swallowed her and started having a terrible headache. Then his head split open by an axe from help from Hephestus. Suddenly, Athena came out of his head. Athena came out fully grown, with her symbols the aegis and the famous helmet of Athena. Athena is much like her brother Ares: They are both rulers of war, but she is more of the strategy and quick thinking. Her brother Ares is the power, strength, and villain of mythology.
Athena is also known of being and having Wisdom, Wealth and Crafts. Athens is named after Athena for memory of her. Goddess Athena was often referred to as Pallas Athena or simply Pallas.
There are two prevailing myths as to why Athena took the name Pallas. According to Apollodorus, Pallas was a giant that Athena skinned in battle, later wearing his skin into battle to protect herself Bibliotheca I. She then took on the name of the giant to commemorate her success in battle. However, another myth states that Pallas was her childhood friend, whom she accidentally killed while playing.
Filled with grief, Athena took on the name in memory of her friend, placing it before her own Robert Graves, The Greek Myths. Parthenos , which translates to virgin or maiden, was an epithet given to goddess Athena to acknowledge her status as a virgin deity. In Athens, the Parthenon , the largest temple in the Acropolis, was dedicated to Athena.
The temple held Athena Parthenos , a 37 feet tall statue of the goddess. The original statue was sculpted by Phidias and has since been lost or destroyed.
Athena and Poseidon competed to become the patron deity of Athens, back when the city had no name. The competition would be judged by Cecrops, the half-man, half-serpent king of the city.
Each god was asked to present a gift for the people of Athens. Poseidon struck the earth and created a spring to allow access to water and trade. However, the spring was filled with salty water, rendering it undrinkable. Athena gifted the city an olive tree, which could be used for wood, food, and trade. Cecrops chose Athena as the winner. Athena is also closely tied to Athens because of her adopted son, Erichthonius.
