Double cheeks affect her appearance, so she has never blown it herself:)), and the exclusive city is Athens.

The first story about Athena is the birth of Athena. After defeating the Titans and imprisoning his father Cronus (the Romans said that Zeus deported him to Italy), Zeus began to worry about his status as the main god.

, he learned that Prometheus knew a prophecy about him, and then he tried his best to find out if his pregnant wife Mochaos (meaning "change", which seems to be a god related to water) would

) gave birth to a son who would replace him as the main god. He tricked Morgais into turning into a drop of water and swallowed her. Later, he felt a splitting headache, and finally Athena, wearing armor, holding a spear and a shield, emerged from his head.

jumped out.

The second story is the Trojan War. Homer's "Iliad" is a record of this war. In this war because of the three goddesses competing for the golden apple and the beauty Haining, the wife of the King of Sparta, Athena, Poseidon

, Hera sided with the Greeks, while Zeus, Ares, and Venus (this is a Roman name, the Greek text is very long) sided with the Asia Minor people. The final result was cruel, although Athena

Ares was defeated on the battlefield, and Venus was seriously injured. However, many Greeks, including Greece's greatest hero Achilles, died unexpectedly, and Troy was bloodbathed. The war did not end with this.

, the Greeks, blinded by hatred, did not offer sacrifices to Poseidon and Athena, and insulted the temple of Hera. This made the three gods very angry and determined to take revenge on the Greek heroes...

The third story is about the Greek hero Odysseus. After the Trojan War, Poseidon scattered the Greek fleet. Odysseus went through many hardships and finally got the love of his patron saint, Athena.

After being forgiven and helped, he returned to his hometown 10 years later and regained the throne of Thebes. The main story can be found in Homer's "The Odyssey".

Apart from this, in other stories Athena mostly appears as a supporting role, and there are not many scenes. In addition, Athena is one of the three virgin goddesses of Olympus.
