Athena's History

Athena is a member of the Olympians a group of humanoid beings that hail from the pocket dimension, Olympus. She was worshiped by the Humans of Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. She is the Goddess of Wisdom, War, Tactical Warfare, and Heroic Endeavor.

Athena was the daughter of the Titaness Metis and Zeus. Zues impregnated her before he was foretold by the Fates that their child would be greater than him. Zeus consequently consumed Metis in an attempt to prevent that prophecy. Nine months later, Zeus was afflicted with violent headaches. Hephaestus trephined him, giving birth to a fully grown and armored Athena.
