Most Powerful Figure of the Year Elected: Pallas Athena! by: Mayra Medeiros

The Greeks n’Geeks team is thrilled to announce the most powerful persona of the year: Pallas Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom. Conceived by Zeus and Metis – the goddess of crafty thoughts – Pallas Athena was in the womb of her mother when Zeus, warned by his mother Gaea that if Metis ever had a second son this child would dethrone him, swallowed Metis. Nine months later, the father of Gods and men had the most horrifying headache of his (immortal) life. Out of his forehead, fully armed, came Pallas Athena.
Zeus trusts his daughter to take care of his shield and even his devastating weapon, the thunderbolt. Furthermore, he does not hesitate to declare Athena as his favourite child. We cannot blame him, who would not be proud of a very intelligent and talented young lady? After all, Athena is a very crafty goddess. She created the trumpet, the flute, horse bridle and the chariot. That is why she is also considered the goddess of inspiration, civilization, courage, law and justice, strategic warfare, strategy, arts, mathematics – basically all things related to the intellect.
She is the protector of the city of Athens and people throughout the Greek world worship her and look for her counselling and inspirational courage during times of need. Also some heroes, such as Hercules, Jason and Perseus, were helped by our powerful goddess. And even though she is known for being invincible at wars, she rather avoid going to battle as often as possible, which means that she is always using her wittiness to look for peaceful alternatives to solve a problem.
All this time defending her beloved city and helping heroes in their journeys left Athena no time to take care of her heart. Yes, in an exclusive interview to our newspaper, Athena revealed that she is single, and still a virgin! Gods of the Olympus and handsome mortals, do not allow yourselves to be intimidated by this flashing-eyed goddess. It is time to make a move. May Aphrodite help you!
