#Athena Greek Goddess

[ephemeral-roses]

Desire for Peace Webcomic

After having an idea of what she looks and is like in my head for so long, I finally drew Athena.

I got a few notes about her so far.

She is taller than Ares, and he is already tall. For reference, Hermes is the height of the average male during that time period, and you've seen how short he is compared to Ares.

She isn't very cold or stoic. Instead, she is often seen smiling when outside of serious situations and has a loud hearty laugh.

She has a similar clothing color palette to Ares to show they are similar. I've seen it too many times where people see Athena differently in relation to Ares, seeing her as more peaceful and morally superior. Meanwhile, she is said to love war just as much as him. So, to me, they are on the same coin. I ain't going to put them against each other, going "this one is much better than the other!". They are friends and will always be friends. They are holding hands, skipping around in a field of flowers in my mind right now, actually, and there's nothing you can do to stop me. *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧Friendship*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Modern retellings: Athena actually turned Medusa into a monster to protect her from men!

Athena in mythology when Perseus killed Medusa:

Librarians fans, anyone a Percy Jackson and the Olympians fan? Do you know how Athena - a virgin goddess - has demigod children? (In PJO). Her children are concieved through the melding Athena's divine thoughts and the ingenuity of her chosen mortal partner. Athena's children are born from the head like she was. They are literally brain children.

This thought crossed my mind. Jacob "genius IQ, has several honary degrees from universities in four continents, historian, art expert, architecture expert, martial artist, speaks 9 languages and can read 12 more including Greek, mechanicallyminded" Stone, is actually the type of partner that would catch Athena's eye.

Imagine if the librarians came into work one day a there was a baby??? Just there?? In the Annex??

(lol I’m sick. I do feel like throwing up rn. So demure of me <3)

Can we un-normalize hating on Greek gods we’ve read nothing about? Actually, that applies to everything. Educate yourself before you form an opinion.

Tons of people hate on Ares for no reason, or they use the excuse of “But he’s violence, he’s bloodlust. He’s bad war”. Which is a total over-simplification of him! Ares is the emotion that goes into war, the passion to fight for something you believe in. Even THAT was a pretty simple explanation of him.

Most of the time, people just choose Athena because they think that:

B) She’s “good war”

C) More people like her

I have no problem with liking Athena. She’s very cool, I was her for Halloween during my religious denial era! (Yes that is what I call it.) But most people like her because people didn’t mention anything “bad” about her, while they only mentioned the “bad” things about Ares. So, they had very little knowledge when forming their option on who was “better” to them.

I truly believe that if people read more about Ares, and formed their OWN opinion on him, more people would like him. (Also I’m really tired of the only people that like him being some people on tumblr, devotees of him, and middle school boys who okay Fortnite.)

Idk, Ares is my favorite. I pray to him, I could entirely be biased. I’m just tired of people being silly gooses <33

HAVE A GOOD DAY/NIGHT

CHAPTER EIGHT IS HERE!!

Athena is dealing with too much, trying to hold everything back. This of course, ends horribly.

ALSO I SHOULD NOTE. This chapter and the artwork is a lot more disturbing than the other chapters, so if you're uncomfortable with that sort of thing, please read with caution 💜.

Or you can laugh at my poor attempt at drawing horror art. 💀

(Under the cut is the "disturbing" artwork)

APOLLO

“You well know I’m a fan of catchy songs…”

This was a DTIYS entry for Carianti (@cariantidraws on instagram)

Apollo design is mine (had to BE FAST but I like the way he came out), but the harp is heavily inspired by hers!

Post "My Goodbye"

(Athena is going through her 12th box of tissues. Ares is patting her back.)

Ares: Got you some more books.

Athena (sadly looks at them): I used to read those with Odysseus.

Ares (slides them away): How about sparring? That always makes you feel better.

Athena (sinks into pillow): Odysseus was good at sparring.

Ares (to himself): So help me, Odysseus, if my uncle doesn't kill you, I will.

Athena: Ares?

Ares: Yeah?

Athena: There IS something that might make me feel better.

Ares: What?

Athena (meekly): Well, I read that petting puppies can help.

Ares:...

Athena: It can lower stress and elevate mood.

Ares:...

Athena (baby owl eyes)

Ares (sighing): (turns into a puppy)

Athena (smiling as she gets to pet the pup)

Ares: If you tell anyone about this, I will test your immortality.

So someone on Twitter say Athena only has male friends

Day 2 of Sirentober / Doctober

Glasses / Retro

Based on a dream I had last night where Athena came down and visited Ford and taught him like she taught Odysseus and she told him to use his BRAIN and not trust Bill Cipher and I woke up realizing that Athena and Ody occupy the same space in my head as Jheselbraum and Ford. Like…big tall goddess mom friend lady…and square man trying to get home…
