🦉ATHENA 🕷️

Daughter of Zeus, king of the gods
Athena is a special one
She was born from the head of her father
Grown up, with her armor on

She is known for her intelligence
She is said to be brave and wise
She has always been a guide and teacher
To gods and humans alike

Athena’s special symbol of power
Is the wise and sensible owl
She’s an expert fighter, there’s no one like her
Or like her owl, no other fowl

She sometimes does get angry
Like all gods tend to do
That’s when she turns folks into spiders
And gives them Medusa heads too

Legend has it that the first spider
Was a lady who did weave
The goddess Athena became jealous of her
Ever so beautiful embroidery

Medusa too started out as one
Of her pious lady priests
Zappity zell! Athena cast her spell
The priestess became a beast

The Parthenon is her temple
It stands in Athens, Greece
So if you ever find yourself there
Pay your respects to Athena please.
