Athena: facts

“There was no mother who gave me birth; and in all things except for marriage, wholeheartedly I am for the male and entirely on the father’s side. Therefore, I will not award greater honour to the death of a woman who killed her husband, the master of the house.”

“Goddess, a man must respect whatever you and Hera say, however angry he may be.”

“I came from the skies to cool

your fury, if you will listen to me”

“Come now, give up this quarrel, and take your hand from your sword. Insult him with words instead and tell him what you mean to do.”
