Dish with seated Athena/Minerva

This dish or, perhaps, drinking cup, is part of so-called Hildesheim Silver Treasure and depicts a seated figure of a Goddess, probably Athena or Minerva. She's wearing a triple-crested helmet and leaning onto a shield. This artifact was most likely produced in Italy between 1st century BCE and 1st century AD. Currently at the Altes Museum in Berlin, Germany.

Hi buddy! I'm sending another round of questions for Sunday Writeblr Ask-A-Thon! My question to you is: Have your ocs ever brought someone back from the dead by either necromancy or going to heaven, hell and the like?

Hi Athena!!

Hmm... of my Star Wars OCs, which this blog is dedicated to, not really. And of my OCs through other fandoms, I actually don't have many that have brought people back from the dead (and I have over 200 OCs from various fandoms. Do I have a problem? I don't think so. Others might disagree lol). However, I will admit that I have several OCs that are the ones brought back from the dead, or the brink of death. Including one of my Star Wars OCs.

Thanks for always sending these, Athena! I really appreciate you 💜

My experience with lady Athena:

Athena is very dear and near to my heart. She is one of the very first deities I worshipped when I first got into Hellenic paganism. Throughout all these years, she watched me grow and learn become more comfortable and confident in my practice. If I make mistakes, she is patient, If I’m going through rough times, she listens to me, puts her hand firmly but gently on my shoulder to reassure me that things will be fine, and to my heart, she always brings peace and serenity with her presence, as well as clarity of the mind. And in times of comfort, she is always near. Her presence in my life is one of my greatest blessings that I don’t take for granted. If you feel drawn to connect with her, then go ahead, she is caring, protective of her loved ones, patient, and generally a wonderful goddess to work with.

Like a man with no wisdom

(A song that reminds me of Lady Athena💛)

"I know you know me

And you always will

Like a man with no wisdom

And a soul with no king

I know you feel me

Your heart unfulfilled

Like a world with no mother

And a home never built

But if this is what you want

Why speak of right and wrong?

You still go in for the kill

Nothing will ever change, no guilt, no shame

Call out my name when you need me again

If you know who I am, why won't you call my name?

If you know who I am, why won't you call my name?"

-A soul with no King, Aurora

This song reminds me so much of Lady Athena! the lyrics are very powerfull (and Aurora sings it so beatifully too!) and it matches how i view Lady Athena. It kinda makes me want to make a greek deities/greek mythos playlist.

ἀλεξίμορος (aleximoros) - a poetic epithet of Apollo, Artemis, and Athena in Sophocles marking them as "warding off (untimely) death".

Thursday Ask-A-Thon ask: If you let them, would your ocs try and disappear off the face of the planet?

Athena!!!

Simple answer, yes, but also no.

If I didn't keep them on leashes, they would run off and do anything but what I need them to - take over the world, open a bookstore/cat cafe, get elected president, successfully franchise a series of Waffle Houses in the UK, etc.

So they wouldn't necessarily disappear, but they would run off if I let them xD

OH GOD CALYPSOS DANCING GODS SAVE ME.

*KNOCK KNOCCKKK*

I NEED MANIA AND ATHENA HCS (OR LORE EITHER ONE) I need gay goddess in my life rn and BADLYYY

alright buddy! *cracks knuckles*

(Note: I would've wrote this sooner but I had major cramps yesterday but i'm fine)

Mania is Very big on cuddles, she loves being near Athena at all times so Athena rarely gets time to herself but Athena knows ways to distract Mania.

at times Mania will wrap her tail around Athena for reassurance that she's there.

Pet names all day from Mania.

Athena can and will hold Mania like how you would a cat.

Mania is a big food stealer!

Major "I love my tall wife!" energy from Mania.

Mania is the first one who throws hands Athena backs her up.

Pet names all day from Mania, Athena doesn't do that in public.

Mania fell first but Athena fell harder.

Mania classifies as a underworld god so Athena does have to stop Mania from messing with Hades, Thantos, Charon, etc..

Mania loves to bite, she'll do this at random ass times.

being the daughter of Nyx and Erebus, Mania can blend into the shadows, darkness, and night so she does spy on Athena who is aware of all this but too tired to say anything.

there are times where Mania wears Athena's helmet (yes she steals it).

first time doing headcanons so hope I did well enough
