#ATHENA 🦉

[evilios]

Obsessed with all the infighting about whether or not Athena and Ares are "different kinds of war" or something that gets to an inexplicable degree of separation from any source, meanwhile Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite (5):

The deeds of Aphrodite the golden bring no pleasure to her, but Athena finds joy in wars, in the work of Ares, in the strife of battle, and in tending to deeds of splendor.

and Homeric Hymn to Athena (11):

I begin to sing of Pallas Athena, defender of cities, awe-inspiring goddess; she and Ares care for deeds of war, cities being sacked and cries of battle;

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 💜

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.

Hear the sound of drumming? Drumming of armor, proud and brave. Eyes of an owl that peers knowingly. Despite the results, She fights with strength and wisdom. Knowledge She holds, analyzing the battle at hand. Master of war, battle tactics man haven’t yet performed. Alongside Her, their armor drums proud. Athena, Goddess of Wisdom. For Her, they fight with wisdom, a wisdom guided by her hand.

E-offering to Lady Athena🦉

[evilios]

People usually draw Athena with barn owls or larger great horned owls, probably because they are more well known in the United States and they are more "intimidating" by their wing span and appearance, but I find it sweet that the "owl of Athena" is the little owl, Athene noctua.

It occurs in Europe, Central Asia, and parts of Africa, making it a more obvious bird for a Mediterranean Goddess. It's also so small you can hold it on your hand/fingers (it's around 8in/22cm in length with a wingspan of 22in/56cm).

Athene noctua is also related to Athena etymologically: γλαυξ (glaux, used to describe the little owl), the word connected to γλαυκός (glaukos, "bright", "light blue", "light grey", "gleaming"), is also connected to the epithet γλαυκῶπις (glaukopis, "of gleaming eyes") that was a constant epithet of Athena. They were probably associated because of the "gleaming" eyes of the little owls. The specific shade of that "gleaming" might also be descriptive of the bluish shine on olives when they're ripe, which would connect to another specific attribute of Athena.

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

President :D

Thank you, Raman Bhaiya!😭💛
